gedit places the vowels correctly inside, above or below the consonants. I haven't tried any text that contains trope (let alone trying trope and vowels in combination). As far as I can tell, gedit also renders the combinations of r-to-l and l-to-r text correctly.
BTW, gedit has to deal with the word wrap algorithms. And those seem correct as well. I can tell you from experience that nested bidirectional word wrap algorithms can get pretty ugly.
