Hello everyone,
I want to work in an org buffer with both left-to-right and right-to-left text (arabic). Although the character directionality and composition works fine, when writing paragraphs with visual-line-mode on the lines get inverted, i.e., the line
ZYX CBA
appears as
ZYX
CBA
instead of
CBA
ZYX
The section "22.20 Bidirectional Editing" of the Emacs manual suggests forcing the directionality of the paragraph with RIGHT-TO-LEFT MARK, but this does not seem to work: even with such a character beginning the line, (current-bidi-paragraph-direction) returns "left-to-right".
The RTL MARK seems to work just fine in tables.
When written in a clean text-mode buffer the same text appears with proper directionality. However switching from org-mode to text-mode does not correct directionality in said paragraphs. The issue persists even when visiting the file with emacs -Q.
org-version 8.0.3, same issue with v. 7.9.4
Any fixes or workarounds? Your help is much appreciated, most of my brain is linked to org-mode.
