Bug Description

As you may know, Persian is a right-to-left language. When I type an English phrase containing punctuation marks in a Persian text in gedit, what I see on the screen isn't what I expect. For example when I type

\commandname{new}

within a Persian (right-to-left) text, it is shown as

{commandname{new\

This makes reading and editing such texts difficult.

gedit version: 3.10.4
