i read the bidi algorithm (the old one) and found that the user can add a
special invisible character "left-to-right mark" just after the ")" char in the
original example which will fix this issue (visually)
[ i am attaching a working example for this after this comment. ]
from the user's pov, it is found in Menu >> Insert >> "formatting mark" >> LTR
mark.
i guess not all users know this trick (feature) and expect the word processor to
understand them and their flow of writing text. as they speak or think that is
how it should flow and visually be represented.
i recently (last two months) got some correspondent about the new bidi
algorithm that is being drafted by the Israeli (and other probably) ISO which
will (probably) solve most of those issue and that the Israeli OO team (TK
Systems) will (probably) be involved in implementing.
so i close this issue since the current bidi algorithm is implemented just fine
and there is a "workaround" to solve this issue from the user's pov.
i agree that support for importing old documents and placing those RTL/LTR
invisible marks should work properly for old OOo documents and for imported
(from other formats) documents. but that is a different issue. and when we find
such document we should open an issue for it.
