the variable for workaround can certainly stay in place until some proper
solution is arrived at.

RTL is not my specialty, my understanding is that if the arrow is pointing left
then if a RTL char is entered it will appear at the point indicated to the
left, if the arrow is pointing right then if a LTR char is entered it will
appear at the point to the right. Something like gedit instead uses a
split-cursor and shows two cursors with arrows to show both locations a char
might appear if there is ambiguity where a char would appear depending on its
classification once entered.
