The only way I can explain this to myself is by reasoning that
whatever code is related to the problem you see is somewhere else, not
in shr-fill-lines or its subroutines, because while shr-fill-lines
runs, my patch makes LTR and RTL text indistinguishable.  So it's some
other code that is responsible.

It's important to understand what exactly are you trying, because your
original test case in this bug report is fixed by the patch I sent.

Thanks.
