yup, it _was_ a problem with 'minibidi'.

when you force the string in question to be redrawed rapidly (by simply 
moving the mouse over the text) and thus the bidi reordering function to
be called many times, ambiguities occur in some weak characters (i.e
punctuation).

try turning bidi reordering off and see if the same problem still exists

im not saying this is a problem with QT, im simply stating my experience
with 'minibidi'

The fix was inexplicable, check the syggestion i made to emacs's.

now i know its stupid and some people would argue about operator
precedance being evaluated a certain way, but i _swear_ i fixed it with
a similar technique. maybe when i have some free time and if anyone
wants a demonstration, i'll generate 2 putty .exe

nadim, if you remember the .exe's name that would be great help (eg. 
putty3.exe)
