In projects where the target language is Arabic (probably it'll be the case with any other RTL language such as Hebrew), the directionality of the text in the target segments (in the translation editor) is correct: right-to-left.

However, in the Fuzzy Matches pane, the directionality of the Arabic text is wrong: left-to-right.

This is of course not just a matter of having the alignment aligned to the right, but it also affects the position of some characters with weak or neutral directionality, and could even affect readability since some parts of the text can be misplaced.

Even if you don't read Arabic, you can clearly see in this screenshot how the fuzzy match and the translatino (which are the same text) differ

Not tested with Arabic as the source language.

Sample project attached to https://sourceforge.net/p/omegat/bugs/977/ if needed.
