Actually, the screenshot shows that line number 57 is to the right of
where it should have been.

In any case, I cannot reproduce this here, not in "emacs -Q", not on
master and not on the emacs-26 branch.

Why did you need to turn off bidi-display-reordering?  Does the
problem go away when you don't do that?
