There was an algorithmic flaw in handling invisible property when the
invisible text starts inside embedding level above the base paragraph
level: the code failed to account for the "backward" iteration which
is part of the bidi reordering, and instead always looked forward for
the first visible position.

Should be fixed now on the master branch.
