Hi, I'm surprised by the way vanilla Emacs behaves when given RTL input: Recipe: emacs -Q hebrew.txt hebrew.txt contains (or should contain!) two newlines followed by the Hebrew word Ivri, punctuated, followed by another single newline. Expected result: right-aligned text Actual result: left-aligned text Is that a bug, or is there something I don't understand? It only appears to be left-aligned when there are precisely two newlines at the beginning of the file. I'm attaching a screenshot since I don't know whether it's a font-specific issue. Thanks!
