wrong directionality in minted environment

Question

I write a document in Lyx and use a minted environment. I added a python code inside a Tex code box, but after compilation, Lyx "reverses" the order of the words inside the " " marks.

This is the code I wrote:

\begin{minted}[linenos=true, numbersep=5pt, fontsize=\small]{python}
Total = 0
I = 0
while I < 100:
    x = int(input("enter a number"))
    if x < 0:
        continue
    Total += x
    I += 1
print(Total)
\end{minted}

and this is the result after compilation:

as you can see, the order is reversed. I tried "playing" with the order, to "trick" Lyx to reverse it again, but it's still not perfect.

how can I solve this?

As Udi suggested in the comments

Try adding \begin{LTR} before \begin{minted}, and \end{LTR} after \end{minted}. Usually, LyX does it by default if you use the minted environment from the GUI and don't use ERT, but if IRCC you use the latter.
