actually.. i dont remember seing that.
but the problem (which does not exist in arabic) is that many sites use visual
(and not logical) hebrew, and thus when you copy it to a application which
supports "logical" ordering, it gets "reversed".
We can ask the mozilla dudz to copy the logical content to the cliboard, even
if on the original site it was visual. This makes this funnier, since arabic
is DEFINETLY NOT visually ordered. Looks like a nice bug in the internal parts
of the copy functions of mozilla (can anyone test on windows? not only X11?)
BTW, I have not seen this bug in hebrew, but I will test when I am back home
on Mozilla 1.4.
