JDK 8u doesn't have the fixes to deal with all of the macOS fonts in current macOS, so its a little hard for me to test Arabic/bidi there since I get garbage text.

I don't see that mirroring that you see, neither setting it on the TextArea or on the Scene, but the text is way off to the right.
Some layout issue.
