IIUC, the OP's problem is that mixed RTL and LTR text is not displayed
in full-bidi in Vim (which is a known limitation, but he regards it as
a major bug) but that the Mac native terminal, which calls itself
xterm-256color and not mlterm, displays full-bidi even in Vim, with
correct shaping of Arabic letters, provided that Vim is compiled with
-arabic. (I don't know how it does that, but I'm not on a Mac myself.)
"set termbidi" (which requires +arabic) apparently corrupts the
display, as shown in one of his posts earlier in this thread.

Best regards,
Tony.
