Hi Otared,

I took a look at the samples you sent me. Can you show what happens when
you put non-roman punctuation to finish the sentences? I see a normal
roman period in there, when I (naïvely) would have expected an Arabic
Full Stop, or something. 

I'm not saying that would solve the problem, but it could help isolate it.

Cheers,
adam
