Keep in mind that Yudit's Arabic support is still in Beta meaning people
should NOT use it for any serious work until its fully released and tested
throughly.

M.Elzubeir will hopefully contact Yudit's author for possible fixes since
this editor seems SO promising (hopefully, more later); and apologies from
all of us about jumping the gun and pre-announcing non-tested applications
(we're all just WAY too excited about the recent progress :-)
