<![CDATA[Writing direction for text fields]]>Now many browsers have a change of text direction in fields, but Opera does not. Why is Opera lagging behind other browsers? Please make this option.

  • Right click on text fields and text areas in a page.
  • Open "Writing Direction" in context menu.
  • Choose between "RTL", "LTR" or "Default".

opera://flags/#force-text-direction
This only works in the address bar, but when typing messages on sites, it does not work. In other browsers, you can switch on sites too.
