Description Dotan Cohen 2009-03-17 15:10:39 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.1)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Hebrew text is right-aligned only when word wrap is off, even when there are no long lines that would wrap. Furthermore, the Shift-Ctrl method of setting directionality does not work in Kate.

I have word wrap on and Hebrew text gets right-aligned. Please re-test.
Please describe the Shift-Ctrl method.

Comment 2 Buovjaga 2016-06-14 17:07:18 UTC
Hmm.. it gets left-aligned, when I turn word wrap off, though.
Comment 3 Safa Alfulaij 2016-06-20 18:15:58 UTC
Direction-ality in Kate/KWrite is depended on the text, wheater it's RTL or LTR.
The only thing that differs here is alignment:
- Left alignment for all the text if word-wrap is off.
- Dependent alignment for RTL/LTR text if word-wrap is on.

So I don't really see the importance of making such an option to just get the alignment to right if word-wrap is off.
Since direction of both text is correct, alignment it's not a big problem.
Comment 4 Dotan Cohen 2016-06-23 11:24:09 UTC
I seem to have mentioned "right-aligned" in the OP by mistake, that should read "right-directionality". This issue is about _directionality_.
