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
