Description Farzaneh Sarafraz 2005-05-03 07:10:25 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
in right-to-left locales, ctrl + right arrowkey is supposed to jump the cursor 
to the previous word and ctrl + left arrowkey is supposed to jump to the next 
word. their function is reverse.
arrowkeys on their own, however, work properly: the right arrowkey moves 
towards the begining of the line and the left one moves towards the end.


Steps to reproduce:
1. run LANG=fa_IR gedit and choose Persian keyboard.
2. type something with some spaces.
3. hold ctrl and press righ/left keys.


Actual results:
the curser moved forward in the text with right key and moved backward in the 
text with left key.


Expected results:
the curser should have moved backward in the text with right key and should 
have moved forward in the text with left key.


Does this happen every time?
yes.

this behavior comes from GtkTextView, which gedit uses. Reassigning to Gtk+.

actually this is a dupe
