 Yeah - I noticed this too. Closing Write and opening it up again works.

 arabic alphabets? For instance, I type several roman characters then
 switch to Arabic and the characters appear before the the roman characters
 not after..

 I _think_ that is the correct. But I think it's best to confirm this with
 a native speaker.

 I'm trying to see if the justification issue persists in the newer Abiword
 - if it does not, I'll try to backport it to the 8.2.1 builds.
