Right to left not working on plain text

Hi all,

I work on a fairly new workstation, with fully updated XP SP2
installed. I work a lot with Hebrew, and at the beginning I had no
problems. However, at some point I think the right-to-left support got
screwed. I can still read and write Hebrew letters, but on certain
occasions the letters are ordered backwards, from left to right.

The problem seems to happen only on plain text controls. I can't use
Notepad properly now (for both reading and writing), but the browser
or Word display Hebrew text just fine. It should also be noted that on
the problematic controls I can't change the text alignment, and it is
always aligned to the left. On the ones that display Hebrew properly,
there's no problem changing the alignment both ways.

I've tried everything I could think of in the Regional and Language
Options applet, to no avail. I've uninstalled all the Hebrew code
pages, and installed them back again. No change. This is so annoying.
Any ideas?

Thanks!
