When typing a paragraph in Arabic or Hebrew there is a problem when doing Forced line break. The character direction become Left-to-right direction, insted of keeping the Right-to-left direction. Also the "text direction icons" does not appeare in paragraph menew even I select "Adobe World Ready Paragraph Composer".

You need not to uninstall your primary version, you need to install a ME version above your installed version. I install always the Arabic and Hebrew version above my German version. It completes my UI with such things as the direction button. Because I do not uninstall my German version, I have my German UI with the additional functions I need to use for RTL languages.
Every application in the CC handles different languages different.

Did you install the ME support version? (Hebrew/Arabic)

Hi Willi,

I didn't. I had the English version installed. I tried uninstalling from my cloud and reinstalling by the "English"العربیه version, but there was no option to change it.  

The Photoshop doesn't have the same problem. It happened to the InDesign.

Your screenshots show that you are using InDesign, so I've moved your post to the InDesign forum for you.
