Hello @RaiKoHoff ,
I try to imagine the utility of the menu "Bidirectional" ? 🤔
Is it not a "double use" with the menu "RTL Layout (GDI)" ?

[RaiKoHoff]

Documents that use multiple languages may contain both directions (RTL and LTR) and this is termed "bidirectional"

e.g. a Source Code (programming language) containing comments in Arabic or Hebrew.

It is a 'provisional' Scintilla feature, currently experimental and incomplete.

It is only possible while using DirectWrite rendering technology.

Unfortunately the DirictWrite rendered in GDI context (only DirectWrite method which allows RTL Layout) will mirror the text, which might be a bug in Scintilla text rendering - not sure so far.
The legacy pure GDI rendering context allows RTL Layout without text mirroring, but has no possibility to use the "bidirectional" feature.
