            Bug ID: 345512
           Summary: Hebrew text is recognized using selection tool with
                    wrong direction
           Product: okular
           Version: 0.20.0
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: oren.ginger at gmail.com

When I tried to copy some text from PDF in Hebrew language (which is written
right-to-left), I saw that the symbols in clipboard were written in incorrect
direction (left-to-right, like English)

Likely, this bug can be also reproduced with other RTL languages (as Arabic).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the PDF file with Hebrew text in Okular
2. Select some characters using Selection tool
3. In context menu choose Text (N characters) - copy to clipboard
4. Paste copied text into some text editor

Actual Results:  
Pasted text is reversed.
For example, if you copied "שלום עולם" you will see "םלוע םולש"

Expected Results:  
Exactly the selected text should be pasted.

To make your life easier, I created an appropriate PDF file and uploaded it to
google drive.
