This bug is puzzling since FF displays the Hebrew text correctly. Turns out that walla is serving up 2 different versions of the page based on the browser. For FF the Hebrew text is served in logical order wrapped in a <span dir=rtl>, for Safari the text is being served in visual order with no span to tell the browser the text direction. This is easily visible by diffing the 2 attachments. Mitz: Do you think there's an underlying WebKit issue here? Would a further reduction be helpful?
