Specifically what additional information should I provide? This happens to
me even without my .emacs loaded. I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 with
m17n-(db/contrib), libm17n-(0/dev) installed.
It seems that in org mode is forcing LTR in mixed-directionality texts
since, for example, a heading with RTL text will not change the stars to be
right-aligned, and the cursor's behavior in org mode is different than in a
clean buffer.
Perhaps you could show me how to ignore any previous paragraph settings
other than with R-T-L MARK?
Kind regards,
Manuel GJT
