Arabic issue #28: TAB behaviour is odd in RTL mode

[Munzir Taha]

System: Linux 2.6.10-1mdk i686 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+ GNU/Linux
Qt: 4.0.0-b2-snapshot-20050306

After typing any Arabic text, I need to press TAB twice to have it jump on 
screen.

If my cursor is at the start of a line and I press tab, then BACKSPACE doesn't 
remove it! Similar odd behaviour is also reported by Andrew Batishko for LTR 
mode and it's still not fixed.

This was fixed in yesterdays snapshot IIRC.

It's almost fixed for LTR but in RTL the above bug is still available. Whether 
I typed Arabic or English when the text is AlignRight (Right Crtl+Shift) the 
behavior is still odd.

Also I noticed that in LTR if I pressed TAB before typing anything the cursor 
jumps not only to the right but also upstairs ;)
