This is a bug in the Hebrew Latex: you need to put \R{} around each Hebrew
non-fixed length cell, otherwise the text appears LTR.
This is not needed for fixed length cells.

Having 2 dummy positions per cell is inconsistent. We should either have
one position per cell or four, so we will have the same behavior for selecting
columns and selecting rows. Given this two choices, the first choice seems a
lot better.
Also, note that having only one dummy position simplifies the code, as
the InsetTabular::cursor member will no longer be needed.
