Hebrew suggestions appear in reverse

Hi,

First of all I wanted to say this is a great app, I found it today and bought it immediately after trying the trial version.

The only thing that slightly bothers me is that the hebrew suggestions appear in reverse order (the letters are reverse, instead of shalom it's written molahs). Normally I'd assume the problem is related to the less-than-perfect Hebrew support on Android, however when using the AnySoftKeyboard the suggestions are displayed correctly.

Ah, found the solution - seems that the "RTL suggestions" setting which is on by default, reverses the hebrew words. Once I turned it off, the suggestions appeared correct.

I'm just wondering why it's doing that? Shouldn't it be the other way around?

The option is on by default because there is a bug on most Android versions with handling of RTL text. You probably have a ROM with the bug fix, so you need to turn it off
