Hebrew text is covered with "Clear Text" icon
Screen capture of this issue
Affects Arabic text too. From reading the code of KLineEdit it seems that when the text alignment is automatically changed(by entering RTL text such as Hebrew or Arabic) the function updateClearButton is not called. I'm running KDE 4.10.2, the bug is especially annoying when searching for non-latin contacts in a contact list. Ah, you mean KDE is not set to RTL mode by default, but the widget only temporarily switches when RTL characters are entered?

RTL and clear icon
Operating System: Manjaro Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.75.0
Qt Version: 5.15.1
Kernel Version: 5.4.74-1-MANJARO
OS Type: 64-bit
This problem seems to be fixed on Plasms 5.21. (In reply to Omeritzics from comment #12) > This problem seems to be fixed on Plasms 5.21. Not completely resolved, it's just temporary (wrong) solution, the correct way RTL languages should be treated is to show clear icon at left and typing start from right, but now RTL are treated as LTR languages. The correct way to address this problem is to have the ability to change automatically the layout of textbox when focus is catched and according to current selected keyboard layout the layout of focused textbox will change to match RTL or LTR. It seems Okular (search) is the only that is implementing the correct solution, see attached video for more info. Created attachment 138775 [details]

Version: 4.7 (using KDE 4.7.1) OS: Linux When typing Hebrew text (RTL Mode), the "Clear Text" icon ("X>") is covering the beginning of the text (See attached screen capture) Please display the "Clear Text" icon justified to the left of the Input Text Box when in RTL mode. Where the text is typed from right to left. so the icon will not cover the text. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. Press Alt-F2 to open the krunner 2. Switch keyboard layout to Hebrew (Or Arabic) 3. Type some text 4. You will now see this issue. (Icon covers text) Actual Results: Text is not covered by "Clear text icon" Expected Results: Text should not covered by "Clear text icon" and if possible, justify the icon to the left side of the text input box
