Description Ilya Konstantinov 2003-10-06 16:30:16 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

kthml displays the LRM and RLM Unicode control characters (produced by the HTML's &lrm; and &rlm;) as actual glyphs from the current font, rather than treating them as control characters and not displaying them.

Note: When fixing this bug, make sure that while those characters aren't displayed (zero-width, in Unicode terms), they are present in the text and get copied along with it.

can you please provide a small test case that can be used for testing?

<html>
<body>
<p dir="RTL">
foo&rlm;bar
</p>
</body>
</html>

khtml does the bidi work right (the "bar" is to the left of "foo"), but it renders  the RLM control character. Compare results with Mozilla.
