This response goes back to this post:

The solution I provided, only works for normal text and does not work for
list (i.e. itemize). The following code seems to fix both:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\d...@iiiminipage#1#2[#3]#4{%
\leavevmode
\...@pboxswfalse
\setleng...@tempdima{#4}%
\d...@mpargs{{#1}{#2}[#3]{#4}}%

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Only one issue remains and that is if you have
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{bidi}
\begin{document} \setRTL
\fbox{\begin{minipage}[b]{0.6\textwidth}
\begin{itemize}
\item This is a test.
\end{itemize}
\end{minipage}}
\end{document}
The indentation of list does not work here. The simplest solution is to have
\leavevmode after \begin{minipage} but that produces a blank like which you
could fix that by \vspace{-\baselineskip}.
The actual question is, what is the best place for that \leavevmode?
