There's some issues with period placement. Look at the footnotes and places where I cited Dialogue.

Can you post a MWE too please?

It might help to use \dot invaded of . as a work around. It looks like the auto punctuation of biblatex is getting confused.

Interesting. It's to do with polyglossia and Hebrew (or Arabic, probaly any RTL language).

This is enough is exhibit the problem:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setdefaultlanguage{english}
\setotherlanguage{hebrew}
\begin{document}
1.1.
\end{document}

I think this is worth asking on tex.stackexchange. I'll post something.

A work around is to force the numbers to be set left-to-right:

That makes sense. R-L text will sometimes jumble characters if it's in close proximity, but there wasn't any here so I was a tad baffled.

Try now. I added a fix from http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/312874/polyglossia-or-bidi-bug-d-gets-inverted-to-d
