I'd do it the other way round. For LTR languages, the preview should be to the 
right, so when the size changes, the text doesn't jump around.

While it's certainly possible for an app to figure out what other apps are
doing, it's bad for it to base its behavior on any of that information
because it has _no idea_ what the other app is doing.
