Description Soroosh 2008-07-17 17:55:51 UTC
Please describe the problem:
While editing in a gtk text entry (like gedit), Control+(Right|left) should move cursor to next/previous word, But in Right to left(Persian/Arabic/..) text, the direction of movement is wrong.

Steps to reproduce:
Write some Right to left text, hold Control key and use arrow keys to jump to next word

Actual results:
The cursor jumps to previous word.

Expected results:
The cursor should jump to next word.

Does this happen every time?
yes

Sample Right to left text to test:
