Description Munzir Taha 2003-12-05 01:46:11 UTC 
Version:           1.5.3 (using KDE KDE 3.1.3)
Installed from:    Mandrake RPMs
OS:          Linux

If the kamil GUI is used by BIDI (Arabic/Hebrew) people, they expect the folder list to come to the right mirrored properly. For example, the +/-  sign that expands/collapse to show the contents of the folder list should come to the right.

Instead of

Folder Unread Total     Subject     Sender        Date        Size
+--
 |_
 |_

It should be

Size            Date        Sender    Subject     Total   Unread Folder        
                                                                                    --+
                                                                                     _|
                                                                                     _|

You can test with: kmail --reverse

Yes it's a known bug.
Treelist is not bidi compliant :(

We must hack qt to fix it.

Regards.
Comment 2 Ingo Klöcker 2003-12-05 11:32:13 UTC 
As this is a problem we inherit from the Qt libraries there's nothing we can do about it (apart from telling TrollTech about this problem).
Comment 3 Stephan Kulow 2003-12-05 14:06:34 UTC 
... which already happened
Comment 4 Munzir Taha 2003-12-05 23:00:14 UTC 
Can you show us the bug id at Qt? if not filed, please do it and post the linke here.
Comment 5 Stephan Kulow 2003-12-06 10:22:53 UTC 
TrollTech doesn't have a public bug database. And I told you it's filed.
