Bug with subtitles: Punctuation marks appear at the beginning of sentences instead of the end

I'm running into an annoying bug in the Text panel while editing subtitles/captions.

The Issue: Letters behave fine when typing, but punctuation marks (periods, commas, exclamation points) get placed at the start of the line instead of the end.

    Hey Stan, actually, that’s what happens exactly if the direction of the text is RTL.
    ​@effigas , select all your captions in the timeline, go to the properties panel and check if right to left is activated, if so, switch the direction to left to right.


    Please tell us if that fixed the issue, if not, select a caption and send us a screenshot of the properties panel..

    ​@Ali Jaber, any thoughts? RTL etc does not seem to do this, but I remember there were some odd settings/bugs.
