This recently got fixed in Word, but I'm not sure if it was by me with a bit of blackart autocorrect trickery or if, after a 30+ year wait, a fix was issued by MS. I first came across the issue on IBM DISOSS/PROFS in the '70's.
If I had my druthers we'd all use corners to mark dialogue, they work for RTL, LTR and UP and DOWN languages - clever people them Chinese/Japanese/Koreans.
I've been experimenting with using unicode emojis for temporary replacement markers - they're hard to miss if you fail to remove them. Forgot to say, via AHK.
