#6042: Right-to-left display names garble messages containing numbers
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  AdrianP       |       Type:  defect
   Status:  new           |   Priority:  minor 
Component:  pidgin (gtk)  |    Version:  2.4.2 
 Keywords:                |    Pending:  0     
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 If a user has a display name that uses a right-to-left script such as
 Arabic, if any of their messages contain a token consisting entirely of
 digits 1-9 separated on both sides by whitespace (a common occurrence),
 Pidgin will place that token in the middle of their display name
 regardless of where it was supposed to occur in the text. I have attached
 a screenshot; notice the 2nd, 5th, and 8th lines; the "136" and "12" are
 not part of his name, they were simply inserted there. The effect is
 obvious.
