Hi Shachar,
If you turn off bidi ordering an display the characters of a mixed text
from RTL or from LTR in the order that the characters were entered, then
logical text selection is identical to visual selection to the user. This
is what Omer suggested. I believe that it would be very helpful to users.
Similarly, if you have a purely LTR or a purely RTL run of characters then
logical and visual selection are identical to the user.
Regards,

Right, that's what the qualifier "in effect" means.
Visual selection, to me, means "selecting text from a continuous block of
visually ordered text". If the text is not visually ordered then the
selection cannot be considered "visual". I conceded that definitions may
vary.
I agree with Omer that visual selection does not seem all that useful to me.
I am at a loss to think of what use to the end user a selection containing
the end of the Hebrew part of a sentence followed by the end of the English
part of the sentence is going to be. Same goes for the beginnings of the
sentences combined.
