Please see screenshot below. I'm planning to purchase the license for the full task but I cannot proceed before resolving this problem. I would be glad to receive a response. My JAVA version is number 8, update 45 (build 1.8.0_45-b14) Thank you in advance, Dana Tags inquisit 4 java text-element

I suspect this is what is happening here, at least in part. There is a way to override that in scripts, specifically via the <defaults> element's /bidirectional attribute: <defaults> ... / bidirectional = false ... </defaults> I have done that for the OSPAN here http://research.millisecond.com/david.nitz/AutomatedOSPAN.web and I'd be interested to learn whether that resolves the issue on your system.
