Retrospective commit from 2009-12-26. Redesign handle_stop_backwards. Fix character mirroring for non-ASCII characters. xdisp.c (handle_stop_backwards): Call compute_stop_pos in the loop, instead of calling handle_stop. Call handle_stop only once, after the loop. (next_element_from_buffer): Don't call handle_stop_backwards if at stop position. If base_level_stop is zero, set it to 1. term.c (append_glyph): Fill resolved_level and bidi_type slots of struct glyph for unidirectional display. xdisp.c (set_cursor_from_row): Handle zero-width characters. bidi.c (bidi_mirror_char): More efficient code (suggested by Ehud Karni <[e-mail]>). Don't even try to mirror non-ASCII characters.

If you think you may have found a bug in GNU Emacs, please
read the Bugs section of the Emacs manual for advice on
(1) how to tell when to report a bug, and
(2) how to write a useful bug report and what information
it needs to have.

There are three ways to read the Bugs section.

(1) In a printed copy of the Emacs manual.
You can order one from the Free Software Foundation;
see the file etc/ORDERS.  But if you don't have a copy on
hand and you think you have found a bug, you shouldn't wait
to get a printed manual; you should read the section right away
as described below.

(2) With Info.  Start Emacs, do C-h i to enter Info,
then m Emacs RET to get to the Emacs manual, then m Bugs RET
to get to the section on bugs.  Or use standalone Info in
a like manner.  (Standalone Info is part of the Texinfo distribution,
not part of the Emacs distribution.)

(3) By hand.  Do
    cat info/emacs* | more "+/^File: emacs,  Node: Bugs,"

Please first check the file etc/PROBLEMS (e.g. with C-h C-p in Emacs) to
make sure it isn't a known issue.
