For each span I must set it's language, that's annoying. Can this be made automatic, like in Open Office, Koffice, and basically every other application of every type? Lyx is Qt based, and I know that Qt handles this internally. Could it be that Lyx is trying to handle the directionally, then Qt does it too, and therefore they cancel each other out?
