I changed it to can be confusing.
I think you want something like "can be used to confuse users". The sense is not that this is inherently more confusing (whether it is or not) but that there is a real situation where people deliberately confuse users, for malicious purposes... cheers

slide 21. remove the comment that bidi text is often confusing to users. Seems pejorative.
It sure can when people deliberately mix scripts in addresses to confuse recipients.
But that’s not what the slide says. Here’s the bullet:
• * Displaying bi-directional text is complex and often confusing to users.
Displaying bidi text is indeed complex and might be confusing to *developers* but properly displayed bidi text is not “often” confusing to *users*. Deliberately messed up bidi text is confusing, but how often are *users* seeing deliberately messed up text?
