Suppose you're reviewing some document in Writer, containing a paragraph of right-to-left text, and you want to make a reviewer comment. So, you press Ctrl+Alt+C (on Windows), the balloon pops up - and you notice the text direction is left-to-right. Why is that? Now, you can manually set the direction (sort of; comments don't respond to Ctrl+LShift and Ctrl+RShift, which is another bug) - but the default should be the direction of the paragraph you're commenting on, or the direction of the last comment you made.
