Bidi Text Base Direction seems to be broken
I can't use the last two EAP builds because the editing experience is worse. When i start editing the cursor remains at its current position and the text is inserted right from the cursor. The result is, for example, if i enter OFFER_MODULE then ELUDOM_REFFO is inserted. It seems that IntelliJ thinks i use a language like arabic. I tried to change the text direction via “View/Bidi Text Base Direction” but with no effect. Is there another configuration i can try or is this a bug? Another thing i found was that if i press Ctrl-Z twice on the first hit an undo is done and on the second hit a message box with “Cannot Redo” appears.
Currently i use the following build (copied from About dialog):

Hi Andreas Seibt,
I couldn't reproduce this problem with typing on my side using IntelliJ IDEA 2025.3 EAP (Build #IU-253.27864.23, built on October 22, 2025).
Please try to disable all manually downloaded plugins and restart the IDE to ensure the problem is platform-specific. Does it help?
If not, please collect the IDE logs collected via Help | Collect Logs and Diagnostic Data to collect more information about your environment and possible internal errors. Upload them to our server and provide us with the Upload ID.
About a problem with Redo command: At first glance, this looks related to one of the existing issues: IJPL-172002 or IJPL-191559. To investigate and more precisely understand the cause of this problem, it would also be very helpful to get your IDE logs.
Thanks!
I don't know why, but as i started Intellij this morning everything works fine again. The only thing i have done over the weekend was to replace the batteries of my keyboard because they where on low state. But i can't imagnine that this should be the reason for the weird behavior. Maybe the reboot i made helped.
Dear Andreas Seibt, thank you for your feedback.
I'm glad to hear that all works well now.
If this behavior occurs in the future, please create a new issue using this link.
Thanks!
