Problems with arabic

I noticed 2 problems using TFL with arabic text:

1- While writing arabic text and pressing the direction keys to move the cursor - it moves in the opposite direction.
2- The double quotation mark : " appears as single quotation mark: ' when press (send to stage) button.
Any advice?

Cursor movement is in the direction of reading order, not visual order. So the right arrow goes forward in the reading order, which will move to the left in right to left text.

I think the double quotation mark is a problem in this initial prototype that will be fixed in the final release. You may be able to workaround it by editing the string as it appears in the Component Inspector.

No sir, that is wrong, in arabic or in any language right arrow means move to right - left arrow means move to left (not forward and backward) !
I am arab, an have used a lot of arabic editors/word processors (Notepad, MS Word,..etc) - Adobe should fix this.
