I'm not interested in RTL editing.  It is undoubtedly a relevant topic which will better editing for a lot of people who speak those languages.  However, I'm not interested in that.

The main point is the security concerns that [Trojan Source](https://www.trojansource.codes/) brought up.  Geany fails to handle that code properly, which might happen to alert a user that there's something wrong with that file.  Thus, by chance, Geany provides a rickety protection against that kind of attacks.  Until scintilla handles RTL, Geany could just fail more elegantly and provide a more solid protection.
