<pre>Well the old behavior was certainly buggy, what needs to be done now is this:

No idea how to do that, though.
Personally I like how text direction works in Google Docs; if you start writing
in Arabic then the paragraph direction and alignment are set to RTL and right,
respectively, and vice versa. This makes it locale-independent and sensitive to
the actual content being written (i.e. just because I use an Arabic locale does
not mean every single document I wright is RTL, and the reverse is also true).</pre>
