Comment 4 Lior Kaplan 2017-10-02 20:57:12 UTC 
Also happens with Hebrew (checked version 5.4.1).

Noticed that changing property of that space (e.g. applying a font color on it) makes the display to jump into the expected one (space between the English word and the Arabic/Hebrew one).

Comment 6 Mark Hung 2018-03-03 05:34:40 UTC 
Please check with latest master build. Possibly fixed with the following commit:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=e85aa0cc8b306c2f5ca6240b99e1704f772dbebb

tdf#60533 invoke ubidi_setPara with correct paraLevel parameter.

It will be available in 6.1.0.
