Well, vim is an unfair comparison, since it doesn't support RTL. How does it look in a different application?

IMO, kate's behaviour is correct and the real issue is that the string begins with a RTL marker, but doesn't end with a LTR marker.

Greetings!

This works with the current KF5 based release of Kate.
