i know to select a line or a paragraph, I should move the mouse pointer to
the left margin until it change to right-pointing arrow and start selecting.
However, the mouse pointer does not change to right-pointing arrow, instead
it stays in the shape of I-beam and it does not select lines.

Do you have right-to-left support enabled?

I think I do have that support. I can type in right-to-left languages.
If this is not what you mean with right-to-left support, then please tell me.

Thank you

When RTL support is enabled, I believe you have to select lines from the
*right* margin instead.
