RTL problem

#1

I have problem with my ST3, which does not show Persian characters correctly.
I know this is common problem in Sublime, but my problem is that for me Persian characters enter each other.
This is how Sublime shows Persian characters:

And this is a situation in which Persian characters should be shown.

ST does not support RTL text. This topic was discussed several times in this forum.

I always loved how sublime text supported RTL by just putting the characters in their physical left to right order. It made it super easy to work with rtl text. Now with the latest update, it is now unusable for a programmer who encounters RTL text because it writes the text all on top of itself. So this is a huge issue. programmers generally don’t need RTL support as in showing it so RTL readers can read it. They need support so they can IGNORE the RTL text and just paste in strings and open documents and edit them.

The is is a HUGE issue. At our company, we can no longer edit half the files we have, eg to change an xml tag or change some code because after all these years of perfect RTL handling, sudently the RTL text is showing up on top of the regular text.
