Hi Richard,

Could some one explain why the following HTML (note the dir="rtl")

<html dir="rtl">
<head>
<title>Bug bidi Safari</title></head>
  <body>

   <p> a 1b </p>   <!-- bizarre -->
   <p> a1 b  </p>
   <p> a 1 b  </p>
   <p> a 1bc </p>
   <p> ac 1b </p>   <!-- bizarre -->
   <p> acd 1b </p> <!-- and so on  -->

  </body>
</html>


gives :

ba 1
a1 b
a 1 b
a 1bc
bac 1
bacd 1

with Safari 1.1 on MacOSX.
<!-- "b" runs at the RIGHT after the  display of "1" when it is attached 
to it -->
<!-- Doesn't happen when b is followed with sth (but a punctuation) -->

It should be displayed as it appears in HTML, since there are no RTL 
character.
Other browsers on MacOSX are OK (Mozilla17 IE60)

Does any body have an explanation?

Najib

PS: In french,  I'd say SAFARIEN DU TOUT  ;-)
