[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Parentheses and arrows character displaying wrongly in RTL (Issue #3101)

[Yosef Or Boczko]

> Unfortunately [Scintilla](https://www.scintilla.org/index.html), the editing widget Geany uses says this about RTL support "Scintilla provides only limited experimental support on Windows for right-to-left languages like Arabic and Hebrew. While text in these languages may appear correct, interaction with this text may not work correctly as occurs with other editors.".

I tested geany from git master on archlinux.
This is a new bug on geany git master.
It dosn't happen with geany's stable version (1.38).

In fact, it didn't happen to me in the last 10 years using geany in Hebrew.
