[Bug 39545] cursor flipover:text is written from right to left

[sven.lug-dorsten]

Public bug reported:

Affects: evolution (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
I received an email and want to reply to this email and click reply so
the window opens up. Its a html-email, a ebay notififation from a
friend.

The first strange symptom is: the cursor doesnt blink on the first
position of the text, its shifted 7 characters to the right.

If i reposition the cursor to the first position and write text, its
ordered right to left instead of writing left to right!

If i write at the position were the cursor started from (7th character),
text orientation is correct.

look at a sample video (with mplayer)

This happens with 2.4.1-0ubuntu7 as well with 2.6.1-0ubuntu1.
