Adjusted the summary to the root cause of these classes of problems.
Background details (from my entry in issue 78466#desc6):
There is a general problem with code which just composes strings by adding
other strings together.
There are probably many parts of OOo where such compositions have just been
designed and tested for
LTR-strings.
Before the individual strings get merged into the bigger composition they each
look good alone,
because they seem to assume "natural layout" (the first strong character
defines the default direction).
@sb: I suggest to add a String helper method which adds LRE/RLE...PDF
(U+202A/U+202B...U+202C)
pairs to strings that assume natural layout. This would help owners of string
compositing code to keep
the fixes for the problems simple, unless the composition itself requires
reordering of parts.
