Error description

  • While generating a print form that contains a field wrapping in
    more than one line, the printed form is incorrectly formatted.
    
    
    The problem is the text  is splitting before perform bidi text
    conversion which is not correct because the conversion process
    re-arrange the text ac-cording to the host codepage and type.
    
    The line splitting should be performed after the bidi conversion
    process.

    ****************************************************************
    The logic for splitting text over multiple lines, in both
    print and text forms, was doing the BIDI conversion after
    the line was split, instead of before. The logic has been
    changed to do this correctly.
