Bug Description

Binary package hint: metacity

Dear friends,

When typing text in RTL (Hebrew here) and pressing Ctrl + right arrow, the text cursor goes one word to the LEFT and vice versa. Very amusing.

It will be a pleasure to have it go the right way.

Many blessings.

Dear Robert,

gedit, evolution and tomboy are affected. Firefox is not.

Many blessings.
