Description Diego Iastrubni 2006-02-18 20:46:40 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.1)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources

This bug is an old one, which for some reason, was not reported until now. I can remember it, in old versions like 3.2.X. Still valid for KDE 3.5.1 and Qt 3.3.2.

On the attached screen shots, you can see that on RTL desktops the Bookmark pop-menu is not opened bellow the "Bookmark" menu-text. I showed this on kate, but it can be seen in Konqeuror and probably other applications.

The first shoot, was taken after I opened the Bookmark menu with the mouse.
The secondshoot, was taken after I opened the Bookmark menu with the keyboard, by pressing Alt and then navigating with the arrows until I reach the correct menu.

I filled this under kdelibs, since IMHO, the problem is with the code that generates the Bookmark menu and not with kate or Konqueror.

As you see the menu is not in his correct location.

Same problem - now the menu is on the other side. Now the menu has been opened
with the keyboard.

I traced this bug to a Qt (3 and 4!!!!) bug. It's documented "upstream", at 

http://trolltech.com/developer/task-tracker/index_html?id=222757&method=entry

So safe to close as it's "not our problem" and I don't think there is a workaround available.
