Description chanansh 2013-02-28 20:05:23 UTC

Please fix NetBeans editor to handle RTL languages correctly.
The current situation is horrible: indentation doesn't work, nor Tabbing. Moreover text is corrupted and wraps around it self.
Anyone who is developing an application for RTL languages will dismiss NB in favor of Aptana.
