In the calendar month view, appointments and todos have their title elided when it doesn't fit within the cell. The method of eliding is by making the last characters appear dimmed.

However, the dimmed characters are always shown at the right side of the cell. When the title is RTL (Hebrew in my case) this is inappropriate -- the characters are incorrectly reordered. I will soon attach the screen-caps showing the problem exactly, but I first translate it here to English to clarify:

Suppose my title were "Abcde Fghij". Now, I make the cell only large enough for 10 characters. The expected behavior is that I should see "Abcde F(ghi)", where the characters in parentheses are increasingly dimmed (g a little, h more, i most). Instead, in Hebrew, I see the equivalent of "(ihg)Abcde F", where "i" is the most dimmed.
