Yes, it's a known regression. The BiDi code has undergone a minor rewrite by
Maarten Lankhorst. This rewrite temporarily (I hope) disabled it by mistake. A
patch to fix that has been submitted, but I'm has not yet been applied in git.

Ok, Dmitry, and idea how to debug that one?

This may actually be a bug in ListPro. Try working with a non-unicode locale.
Also, make sure the locale is the same for LANG and LC_CTYPE. Set it to "he_IL"
or "he_IL.ISO-8859", and see whether that solves the problem. Not all
applications take to multi-byte characters well in ANSI mode.

That's part of the same regression. I'm hoping it will get fixed by 0.9.46.
