similar to what _used_ to happen with me. i didnt see it before
because it doesnt occur in the debug version of putty, which i use...

and btw, there is one bug in the debug version, not in the release
version...

im guessing that copy-paste should Not work unless you invert your selection
so if you want to select the first arabic word on a right aligned line, you 
would
select the first few chars from the left.
