Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gedit
When writing in a right-to-left written language, such as Hebrew, the
left and right keys on their keyboard change their meaning: left moves
to the next character, and right moves the cursor to the previous
character. This works correctly in gedit. However, when using the Ctrl
modifier, Ctrl-Left should move to the next word, and Ctrl-Right should
move to the previous word. This currently doesn't work in gedit. Instead
Ctrl-Left/Right works the same as in English.
To test this in gedit you can copy the following Hebrew text into gedit:
משפט קצר לנסיון.
Put the cursor at the sentence beginning (which is the rightmost word. By using
Home for example), and then press Ctrl-Left. Instead of moving to the next word
(the middle one), the cursor just stays at the beginning. Now press Ctrl-Right.
Instead of staying, the cursor moves to the next word.

Haggai
