To reproduce bug:
Compile and run Stylepad
In any English paragraph, insert at least two Hebrew or Arabic lines
Place caret in the English text just before the RTL text
Hit the right arrow key to move the caret into the RTL text
Note that caret jumps to line end
Go to the end of second line of RTL text
Hit the left arrow key to move the caret into the RTL text
Note that caret reaches beginning of RTL text, then goes back to the end of that line
without moving into english text
