Thanks for your comments, Eli. I do mean the above example, as I can
see some inconsistent behavior when using org-mode.
It seems that Emacs _sometimes_ renders the above example in org-mode
as,
* First...
* Second
While in other invocations the same file is rendered as:
* First...
Second *
This behavior is not always reproducible. In X11, I have used the
following command to start 5 Emacs sessions with some having the first
rendering and others the second rendering:
i=5; while [ $i -gt 0 ] ; do ./emacs -Q --eval "(setq-default bidi-display-reordering t)" example2.org & let i=i-1; done;
I can also see a bug and a crash with the second rendering (and it got
me confused about how Emacs handles neutral types), so I wonder which
rendering should be considered as "correct"?
