Please describe the problem:
When editing text that is written from right to left (for example, hebrew and arabic), selecting text with the keyboard, on a word by word basis (by holding both CTRL and SHIFT while pressing the direction keys) work in reverse direction.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open gedit.
2. Type some RTL text
3. Position the cursor at the middle.
4. Hold down CTRL+SHIFT and press LEFT


Actual results:
The editor selects words to the right of the original position of the cursor

Expected results:
The editor should select words to the left of the original position of the cursor

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Other information:
Funny enough, selection on a char by char basis (holding down just SHIFT, w/o CTRL, when pressing the direction keys) works fine - pressing LEFT selects chars to the left, while pressing RIGHT selects chars to the right. Just when holding CTRL everything reverses.
