Provide support in all controls for bi-directional scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew.  This includes both static text controls like Labels and Buttons as well as text editing controls such as TextField and TextArea.

The feature was implemented, and tested in many places. Close it as verified. If there are any implementation bugs - file new issues.

The heavy lifting will be done by the graphics team through RT-17411. The controls need to be updated to use whatever API is provided by RT-17411. For static text this should be very straightforward. For the text editing controls we will have to modify the code for selection and careting. By and large this feature should not introduce new API. It is likely, however, that existing API will be clarified or adjusted. The caret control methods of TextInputControl, for example, will all need their documentation enhanced to make clear what things like "backward" and "forward" mean in bi-directional text. In a few cases it may be necessary to provide overrides that provide more information for the bi-di case.

Assigning to Leif, although it is likely that this is a duplicate.
