Yes, because it would have affected the appearance of text in one window
only.

I thought about giving users the possibility to work with a L2R
dominated view in one window and a R2L dominated one in another.  But if
I now understand your lock-step proposal correctly, these windows would
show the text in a similar fashion anyway.  So there seems no need to do
what I said.
