Yes, this *is* a problem of khtml. Selection doesn't work for Arabic, Hebrew 
and a multitude of other scripts either.

Sure. This is a QTextEdit which doesn't suffer from KHTML bugs.

Lars told us at the Konference how to solve this particular bug in general, 
but it's difficult to integrate the fix into KHTML's current architecture. 
Don't expect it to be fixed before KDE 4.0.
