howdy?

I have a class:
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using UnityArabicSupport;

[ExecuteInEditMode]
public class ArabicTextMesh : MonoBehaviour
{
	[SerializeField]
	private string text;
	
	public string Text {
		get { return text; }
		set {
			text = value;
			if (value != null)
				gameObject.GetComponent<TextMesh> ().text = ArabicFixer.Fix (text);
		}
	}
}

and have custom editor for it:

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEditor;
using System.Collections;
using UnityArabicSupport;

[CustomEditor(typeof(ArabicTextMesh))] 
public class ArabicTextMeshEditor : Editor {
	private ArabicTextMesh _target;
 
    void OnEnable()    
    {
        _target = (ArabicTextMesh)target;
    }
	
	public override void OnInspectorGUI ()
	{
		_target.Text = EditorGUILayout.TextField("Text", _target.Text);
	}
}

It shows ok on inspector, but every time I start playing, unity resets text value. It seems that text field is not being serialized. What’s wrong with it? How to fix it?
