I have an oval shape, and want to have text on its right side. I selected both shape and text and clicked Text > Put on Path. The text appeared at the bottom of the shape and I moved it to the right by going to the beginning of the text and pressing Alt+Right.
After ~270 degrees, when I either hit Alt+Right or try to add spaces in front of the text, the text still moves but gets clipped.
Why is that and how can I prevent this?
When I put the text on the left of the shape, it works fine. I can copy that, flip both horizontally and vertically, and drag it to its new place. That works, but certainly feels hackish.

When text is put on path, the position of text starts from a point and starts to clip when you cross this point of reference.
Here when you start tracking (Alt+ right arrow) and cross that point of reference it starts to clip because the entire space you added by tracking is a part of the sentence now.
You can place your text on the right as you suggested or by flipping the text & the ellipse both horizontally & vertically once you apply text-put on path. Now apply tracking and the result is what you need.
