No, it's not bidi-paragraph-direction, at least not directly.  The
problem is that shr-fill-lines needs to start in a window that is not
scrolled horizontally, because otherwise vertical-motion will move to
a wrong place (it interprets the column in its argument to be relative
to its left edge).  When EWW doesn't clear the previous value of
bidi-paragraph-direction, the message "Loading URL ..." that is
displayed when you type "G RET" is inserted into a buffer with a
right-to-left paragraph direction, and bidi-display-reordering was not
yet set to nil, so inserting that message with such a long URL causes
the window to auto-hscroll.  So when shr-insert-document is called,
and resets bidi-display-reordering, the window is already hscrolled,
and filling lines misbehaves.

I fixed that now by forcing zero hscroll on the window before the
line-filling starts.

I guess we can now close this bug?

Thanks.
