Dolphin reversed statusbar description

SUMMARY
The description in the status bar is vulnerable to the U+202E (https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/202e/index.htm) character.
Other KDE applications may also be affected.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Konsole and type: fname=$(echo -e "test.txt\u202e")
2. Make new file with U202e char: echo "Some text" > $fname
3. Move the cursor over the created file with Dolphin and check the description on the status bar.

OBSERVED RESULT
The description content from the status bar is reversed back, while elsewhere it is displayed normally.

EXPECTED RESULT
Ignore U+202E and display the description correctly.
