Description Dotan Cohen 2009-06-12 18:47:35 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.2.90)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

It seems that all KDE applications have LTR interfaces in KDE 4.3 beta. Specifically, I can mention Korganizer and Konqueror. This is a major regression and makes the system very disorienting for Arabic and Hebrew users.

Comment 1 Dario Andres 2009-06-12 22:31:49 UTC

If you run "konqueror --reverse" from Konsole, does the application run as RTL
properly ? 
Thanks

Comment 2 Zayed Al-Saidi 2009-06-13 08:26:24 UTC

Regarding Arabic, I had a problem in the layout direction ( bug #194432) but I manage to find where the problem which a missing entry in kdeqt.po file. I check that file for Hebrew and I find it ok. By the way I run kde4.2.90 with Arabic and I do not have any problem with RTL layout direction.

Comment 3 Dotan Cohen 2009-06-13 09:56:59 UTC

Yes, Dario, the --reverse flag makes the app RTL as expected.

I wonder if this bug is a dupe of 194432, though Zayad's statement implies that though the symptoms are the same, the causes may be different.

Comment 4 Dario Andres 2009-10-22 00:29:52 UTC

- Is this still happening with an updated KDE? Thanks

Comment 5 Dotan Cohen 2009-10-22 10:16:49 UTC

Yes, KDE 4.3.2

Comment 6 Zayed Al-Saidi 2010-08-17 18:10:51 UTC

Dotan: can you give us update regarding this bug?

Comment 7 Jekyll Wu 2011-09-23 02:12:26 UTC

Is this still a problem for the reporter?

Comment 8 Dotan Cohen 2011-09-23 05:25:13 UTC

RTL seems fixed except for bug #199131 which is a different issue.

Thanks!
