[Qt-creator] RTL cursor in QtCreator

Hi all,

I remember a few (moths? years?) some people complained that the cursor
direction got borked sometimes in QtCreator, and they though this is a bug
in QtCreator. I have been seeing this behavior as well, but since it's so
... natural to me I did not though about it.

The problem happens when you press control+shift on the right side of your
keyboard and then you hit "right arrow" - you are trying to select the next
word. However... you then regret and don't press right. You are accustomed
to the idea that control and shift are neutral keys, which do not modify
any state. But...

When you press control+shift you set the direction of the paragraph to RTL
or LTR, depending on the shift you are pressing (left/right). To fix -
press control+shift on the left side of the keyboard.

Nothing more... just keep on hacking..
