    Hi Allesandro,

    I've looked at your bug, and here's what I have to say on the subject:

    I think that you've confused paragraph alignment with character
    alignment. What I want you to do is:

    View->Toolbars->Extra Toolbar

    Toward the right on the 3rd toolbar, you'll see 3 icons:

    abc cba P

    what you want to press are the "cba" AND "P" icons, probably to get
    proper bidi support. I pressed "cba" and here's what my screen says:

    god yzal eht revo depmuj xof nworb kciuq eht

    I'll attach this to your bug report and close the bug.

    Hope that this helps,
    Dom
