Notepad++ Mirrored Right to Left Text

Question

I am using Notepad++ Version 6.5.5.

I am using both English and Hebrew, hence alternately need to switch back and forth from Left-To-Right English text to Right-To-Left Hebrew text.

While pressing ALT+CTRL+R:

1. Page layout flips to the right side as expected.
2. However, all text appears mirrored.

In order to see text correctly I need to refresh my display in one of these methods:

1. Pressing F11 twice, OR
2. Pressing F12 twice, OR
3. Minimize then Maximize window.

While pressing ALT+CTR+L:

1. Page layout flips back to the left side as expected.
2. However, all text appears mirrored again.

This problem seems to appear just in recent versions as it didn't happen in the past. Is there any solution for that? If not I'd like to downgrade Notepad++ to the last version (BTW which one was it?) it worked correctly. So where can I find it now?
