Comment (by yoavf):

 > When pressing the direction button in TinyMCE, the HTML underneath
 changes, so I get <p dir="ltr"> for example. I imagine you'd want that
 here, right?

 Actually, no - it doesn't make sense in the HTML editor.

 The default in the HTML editor is RTL, but if you want to actually edit
 HTML tags and code, it's a mess, so you just want to switch the entire box
 to LTR (and back, when you're done).

 The button isn't supposed to affect the content, just the editor.

 Maybe in the next version we can find a way to differentiate the
 'Fullscreen' and 'Text direction' buttons so they don't look like the
 other, content altering, buttons.
