R2L languages and hard lines

R2L languages and hard lines

[Uwe Brauer]

Hi 

When I write Hebrew in an email in the standard setting, 
everything is
displayed fine, like this

שלום

The word shalom is displayed and the right margin, as it should 
be.
However when I turn hardlines on (for example using message 
flowing),
than this is not longer the case but shalom is displayed at the 
left
margin.

שלום


Can this behaviour be somehow changed. (It is not very annoying 
since I just can turn off hardlines, but I am curious).

(This was displayed here correctly, FWIW.)

I don't think I understand the situation.  Could you please submit a
full bug report, using "M-x report-emacs-bug RET", and include in
there a recipe starting from "emacs -Q" that demonstrates the problem?

Thanks.

Right I can see it. The point is it is not displayed correctly when I
write that email. But it when it arrives it looks ok.

That will take me some time. Now I realise that the problem might also
be caused by some package I use, so I have to check this. BTW is sending
a screenshot ok in a bug report?

Take your time, the details are very important for a prompt resolution
of the issue.

Yes.

Thanks.

Btw, it's okay to have the recipe load additional packages if they are
necessary for reproducing the issue.  Just make sure they are loaded
explicitly as part of the recipe.
