BidiUtil.isBidiPlatform() - Version display BiDi question [message #327848]

Hello,
In PDE Label provider the version is adjusted for BiDi with something like
if (BidiUtil.isBidiPlatform())
return "\u200f(\u200e" + versionRange + ")";
else
return ("(" + versionRange + ')');

Since we dont have access to many OS configurations, Im curious as to
what results in the display if one always returned the following?
"\u200f(\u200e" + versionRange + ")"

Which configurations would have a problem with zero-width Unicode
characters?
Thanks.

It is common to make a call like:
org.eclipse.osgi.util.TextProcessor.process(String, String)

That is a text processor provided that can correctly mark certain
characters for when they need to be visible in normal and BIDI
situations (it places markers around ambiguous characters), like
displaying paths while in RTL mode.
