Thank you Lior and Guy for the explanations. I think I'm starting to understand a bit more. However, when you say "document is LtR", I assume you mean that the language in document settings is a language that is RtL? If that is the case, then why when I go to the document settings and change the language from Arabic to English, nothing changes (note I still have "logical" cursor movement set). From what I understand from your above explanation, after the change, in Arabic "right arrow" means "move forward". But if I put the cursor at the beginning of the document (e.g. with ctrl + home), which is in Arabic, Left arrow moves forward and Right arrow does nothing. I attach the document in 2.1.x format now.
