</div>Hello,<br>
<br>
TeX inserts a space at the end of every line it reads, which normally<br>
is what you want (to separate words, for instance). Here, you get a<br>
space just before the brace.<br>
<br>
My guess is that without bidi the space ends up at the end of a<br>
paragraph, where TeX removes spaces (since otherwise all paragraphs<br>
would end with a space), so there is no space in what TeX breaks into<br>
lines. With bidi, there may be some additional node in the list (to<br>
take care of bidirectional typesetting), so the paragraph ends with a<br>
space then some bidi stuff. TeX does not remove the space. It breaks<br>
the paragraph-ending-with-a-space into lines, and it may break the<br>
line in such a way that the single space is in a line of its own.<br>
Thus the extra line you get.<br>
<br>
To avoid all this, either add the comment character % at the end of<br>
the line which is before the brace (leaving no space between the text<br>
and %), or add \unskip before the brace<br>
<br>
...fill.%<br>
}<br>
<br>
or<br>
<br>
...fill.<br>
\unskip}<br>
<br>
depending on what's easiest to generate.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Bruno<br>
