Kile suddenly starts inserting text right to left

Post by Melch »

Hi

I am running Kile on an ubuntu machine. It have been working well so far. I have just run into a small problem. Every now and then the text entered switches from the normal left to right to right to left. For example

Testing testing testing
would ome out like this
gnitset gnitset gnitset

It is annoying but restarting kile fixes the problem so it is not a major issue. If I switch to my browser or another program typing comes out normally. I was wondering if there is a shortcut or something I don't know about that I am activating or if someone knows what the cause could be.



Thanks for your help.

Yeah, I noticed that too. I usually use projects, so closing only a file (instead of kile) and opening it again isn't much of an issue to me (and, reportedly, saving the file and refreshing it works too). There is a bug report regarding this. It seems that it isn't actually RTL issue, but the cursor, for some reason, gets moved at the beginning of the line so it appears as one is typing right-to-left.
