Description
We're using (under various versions of Linux and Windows) SQLiteBrowser (currently, 3.10.1, or whatever is in distro repos) for looking at databases with lots of mixed RTL/LTR text, but even with "just" RTL text, there's a problem if it includes punctuation characters such as parentheses. C.f. below screenshot:
The expected display would be something like this (please excuse the amateurish GIMPing):
(I'm not referring to anything I saw in #884, #695, #685, #667 or #631, but possibly #949 might be related - not sure).
