Here's an interesting exercise.
1) Start The SWORD Project (or Bible program of choice)
2) Go to the Parallel view
3) Select OSMHB for your first Bible
4) Select KJV for your second Bible
5) Note the word order in the Hebrew in particular
6) Now turn on the Strongs numbers
7) Note the word orde
This is surely an artifact of the

ICU.
Strongs numbers are LtR, Hebrew is RtL. Because the LtR text separates the
Hebrew words (by the very nature of Strongs), the result is the unexpected
change in underlying RtL word
I had figured it was a problem with the RtoL LtoR and the numbers in the
middle. Had anyone flagged this as a problem / had it been observed before?
Are there any plans to fix it? If not we need to let OSMHB and other works
like this know that it will be a problem.

SWORD Project for Windows" (BibleCS). It has a significantly different
text layout system relative to other front ends, so if you meant that

No, that wasn't supposed to have any Hebrew. It was supposed to be a
graphic indication of, "wait for it" ;-)
