Text selection using the keyboard moves in the wrong direction

Selection of Hebrew text by right/left arrow keys moves in the wrong direction.

That includes:
Shift + Left
Shift + Right
Ctrl + Shift + Left
Ctrl + Shift + Right

I will try to find time this coming month to get to some update and maintenance work on bidimailui.

Anyway - I do see this; but I'm not sure this is my bug, as I don't manipulate the selection direction. Questions:

• Do you see this with plain text only, or also HTML email?
• What happens if you disable BiDi Mail UI?
• Can you reproduce this with a clean profile (without, then with, BiDi Mail UI)?

Same issue with plain text and with HTML. Same issue when BiDi Mail UI is disabled. Same issue in a clean profile (with/out the extension).

It doesn't look as a bug of the extension but maybe an option to switch left and right keys while the shift key is pressed can solve it.
