Sometimes text moves to the right side of a field.

Running XP SP3, Eudora 7.1.0.9, and Agent 1.93.

I have Hebrew, Arabic, and Russian alphabets enabled, the first two you
know are written from right to left, but in an effort to stop this, I
removed key sequences that were usable to change to those alphabets.
(So now I don't know how to change to the right alphabet even when I
want to.) (In Text Services and Input Languages, which comes from
Regional and Language options, which comes from the Control Panel)

This occurs mostly or entirely in two programs, i) ForteAgent and only
in the composition window, at the top, in the Newsgroups field or the
Subject field. And ii) in Eudora, where all of the text in
the body will sometimes become right justified, line by line, that is,
not changing line breaks.

I must have touched certain keys but I can't find the keys to get the
text back to the left.

Does anyone know what the problem is? Or how I stop it from happening
and how I reverse it when it does happen?

For XP, there are key settings in the Control Panel at
Control Panel Region and Language Options Languages Details Key Settings

OTOH for Agent 1.93 I would normally expect this behaviour to be
driven by the language selected in Agent -- or more precisely, by
the "Script" setting for the font associated with the language
selected.

1. For the Agent 1.93 composition window, the language selection
is at Message Properties, top left.

2. To find the font associated with a language, and the font's
"Script" setting, in Agent 1.93
2.1 Go to Options Display Preferences Fonts
2.2 Select the language in the drop-down
2.3 Click either "Variable-Pitch body" or "Fixed-Pitch body"
depending on whether text is displayed in a
proportional or monospaced font.

(Please leave all 3 newsgroups so I don't have to read this thread in 3
places.)

(Other than this problem Agent is the most well-behaved program I have,
never really doing anything it wasnt' designed to do (with one small
exception) , and Eudora works very well too except for sometimes saying
Not Responding (or something similar) when I have too many tabs open in
Firefox.)
