Description Fahad Al-Saidi 2018-02-08 08:33:52 UTC 
I am trying to fix okular bug #207748 (RTL languages searches text backwards), I trace it to textList() reverse Arabic characters. so, if the pdf text is "testing تجربة " 

textlist() will return something likes this:

[0] = "testing"
[1] = "ةبرجت"

It should be:

[0] = "testing"
[1] = "تجربة"

I think if we can run reorderText() through it, the problem will be fixed.
