[Qt-interest] Bidi changes in 4.7

[Josh]

Hello all,

I still haven't been able to figure out how to revert to the old behavior 
of left-to-right layout on text widgets (QLabel and QTextEdit) which start 
with Hebrew text. It seems odd that even explicitly calling 
setLayoutDirection(Qt::LeftToRight); doesn't revert to the old behavior. 
Does anyone know if I am missing something (very likely), or if this is a 
bug? Thanks!

Josh
