Hi Fatima,
I don’t think there’s an actual problem, it just looks like it because the
program you’re using to look at the JSON makes a different choice for laying
out the highlighting results than it does for the field values.
In fact, all the bytes are the same, and in the same order for both the
“author” field text and the highlighting text, though some space characters are
ASCII space (U+0020) in one and non-breaking space (U+00A0) in the other.
By the way, I see the same thing as you in my email client (OS X Mail.app). I
assume there is a rule shared by our programs about complex layout like this,
where right-to-left text is mixed with left-to-right text, likely based on the
proportion of each, that triggers a left-to-right word sequencing instead of
the expected right-to-left word sequencing.
Anyway, I pulled out the author field and highlighting texts into an HTML
document and viewed it in my browser (Safari), and both are layed out the same
(with the exception of the emphasis given the highlighted word):
——
<html>
<body>
<p>"author": "د. فيشر السعر",</p>
<p>"highlighting": { "1": { "author": [ "د. <em>فيشر</em> السعر" ] } }</p>
</body>
</html>
