workaround: add the following bookmarklet to your personal toolbar, and click it when you need to change writing direction: javascript:(function(){var D=document,B=D.body,sx=B.scrollLeft,sy=B.scrollTop,k,i,f,j,x,r,p,a;for(i=0;f=D.forms[i];++i)for(j=0;x=f[j];++j)x.onblur=function(){for(p=k=this;p&&!p.dir;p=p.parentNode);r=p?(p.dir==%22rtl%22):0;k.dir=(r?%22ltr%22:%22rtl%22);};a=D.createElement(%22a%22);a.href=%22#%22;B.appendChild(a);a.focus();setTimeout(function(){for(i=0;f=D.forms[i];++i)for(j=0;x=f[j];++j)x.onblur=null;if(k)k.focus();else alert(%22No focused textbox!%22);B.removeChild(a);B.scrollLeft=sx;B.scrollTop=sy;},0)})()
