Thank you for filing it here. Original bug report with Wikimedia:

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38109

[Aharon (Vladimir) Lanin]

This has been recently fixed in Blink. See https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=260787, https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=274717 and https://codereview.chromium.org/23298002/.

Due to the serious nature of this bug and its presence in production Safari 6, please consider fixing it on the sooner side and including it in a Safari security update.

This is a duplicate of https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=120504 (http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/155554) Someone who has access to security bugs, please set this as CLOSED DUPLICATE, as I don't have permission to do this myself.

[Aharon (Vladimir) Lanin]

I don't have permissions to view security bugs either. Is 120504 (and, presumably, this duplicate) fixed now?

And if so, please, pretty please, can the fix be cherry-picked for inclusion in a Safari 6 security update?

I am not really expecting two-way communication here, just that my prayers be passed on to someone who has the power to do that.

It was fixed in r155554, that was committed about 2 months ago.

[Csaba Osztrogonác]

It seems it was already merged to the Safari branch - https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/158164

Lucas, could you close it as resolved/duplicate?

[Aharon (Vladimir) Lanin]

Great, thanks!

Is this issue related to bug 124146, which also deals with multiple spaces getting messed up on dir=auto ?

Cause I just retested that with nightly: Version 7.0 (9537.71, 538+) and I can still see that bug, which seems a bit weird.

It is related, but the two were fixed separately in Blink. See there.

[Derk-Jan Hartman]

This has long been fixed btw
