Yes. I do confirm and this is not specific to KDE, it's QT's. However, now 
that I think about it, I'm not sure this is a bug anymore. I mean an 'opening 
bracket' is supposed to stay 'opening' even if you change from LTR to RTL, no 
? This is the same for the '>' sign and Co. For example, in LTR, 
you write '2 > 1', if you reverse the direction, you should read '1 < 2'.

What do others think ?

Not sure. When there's no text in a QLineEdit, or only Latin chars, the cursor 
has no shape (it's a '|' actually). The cursor changes shape only when there 
are Arabic chars (mixed with Latin or not) and its direction notes the 
QLineEdit's alignment. This looks very logical to me (well, maybe the cursor 
should be shapeless too when there are only Arabic chars in the QLineEdit's 
alignment is RTL).

What do others think ?

I don't understand what you mean. You need to explain it a little.

I'll add new issues to the QTBugs page (there are others that I meet while 
working on Bayani), but I won't send a new bug report before we get an answer 
on the previous issues.
