    Hebrew, Arabic, and Persian text displays in the wrong direction. The leftmost character displays on the right, and vice versa.

    Text direction needs to be automatic based on character set, NOT on a global configuration setting. Arabic, Hebrew, and Persian characters should always be displayed right to left, even when mixed with English or other characters that go left-to-right.

    Otherwise it is impossible to create documents that contain both English and Arabic text; one or the other will be always displayed backwards, which is just dumb.

    Windows Notepad got this right years ago.
