Hi Helm,
Well that is how it works by default, and setting the direction for a
text span explicitly using gtk.TextTag direction property does not
change this behaviour, so I wonder what this property is supposed to
do.

Fredrik

I would guess this is a bug (or feature)!

If you insert the text starting with a letter, it works like it should. But 
numbers and hyphen (maybe more) at the beginning are ignored.

Bye,

Volker
