Problems with bi-directional text

When I change the keyboard on my computer to the Arabic language, the characters I type show up correctly in Word. What I don't understand is why the arrow keys move the caret to the opposing direction.

I know the Arabic language has the right to left direction, but this does not justify the apparent incorrect behavior of the arrow keys.
