 the editor, see the example in [#comment:10 comment 10].

 Two things:

 1) I actually thought that the code I put in the theme functions.php file
 (see comment #6) was the override for the default behavior. So, are you
 saying that there is now just a new way of overriding the default
 behavior, using the code you outlined in comment #10?

 2) In my case, the theme is designed to work with image insertions that
 always start on the right side, and enforcing the behavior with our
 editors is ...needed. ;-)
