If you refer to the reason for all these sorts of weird behavior you
have found in your experiments, we have something in common ;-)
If not:
- 1 is a color change inside tabularx with vocalized text
- 2 should be non-colored and non vocalized arabxetex input. It is
not colored, but vocalized.
- 3 should be non-colored and non vocalized utf8 input. Same problem
as 2.

Yes, I understood from previous postings as well as from the bidi
manual that I should avoid the textcolor command.

Inside the tabularx environment, everything happens as it should be.
The change takes effect after tabularx.

Looks like font attributes established in tabularx somehow overwrite
the font feature change afterwards?

Well, surely with the way arabxetex interacts with tabularx or array,
as François already suggested. Still, I fail to see the logic behind
these unexpected changes.
