Go to Start|Run, type notepad, and press Enter.Type a few words.
Press Ctrl down and then press Shift. (Interestingly, the behavior does not appear if you press Shift and then Ctrl.)
Ta da! Experiment with moving the cursor by clicking the left and right arrow keys. Weird, isn't it? Frustrating is a better word, to be honest. It is as if my notepad window has been transported into an alternate dimension where everything is just backwards.
The point of this post is really to publish a plea. If anything out there can explain why this happens and, more importantly, how I can pull the notepad window back into my dimension rather than moving the text?
I can't explain why, but think I know how to fix. It seems that it matters which Ctrl and Shift keys you are using. If the right Ctrl+Shift is released, all text is right aligned and the cursor keys are backwards. If the left side of the keyboard Ctrl+Shift is pressed and released, everything returns to normal (in US English terms at least).
But the mystery is unresolved?
This feature is to support the languages with right to left script. For Example Hebrew is written from right to left. - abrapi ;D
