I can't reproduce these bugs in 1.1.12. Can you test that version and
confirm? We'd rather get 1.2.0 out some day and not concentrate on 1.0.x

Hmm. If the bidi community can help us in some way (like patches), I guess
it'll be done at some point. UTF-8 support in nano is a planned feature,
but nobody has started working on it... so imagine bidi support...
