Excellent! Thanks for reporting the issue.

We used Arabic as one of our testing languages for Windows/Unicode, as
it has most of the complex features of a unicode only language,
including RTL. Hence the Arabic screenshot. As you said, it is correct
on Menu bar.

As this is a development release we can see many such reports, and
will fix them for 3.0.0 release.

I will have a look on what went wrong.
