Description Jarosław Staniek 2012-02-27 22:15:39 UTC

Kexi in does not handle cursor movement in the table view properly for text for text in right-to-left layout.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run Kexi in r-to-l setting (can be forced using the -reverse command line option)
2. Open any table with data, go to a cell of text type and paste right-to-left text, e.g. שם משפחה. Accept the editing by pressing Enter.
3. Double click to edit the cell again. 
4. Press left arrow key.
5. Double click to edit the same cell again. 
6. Press home key.
7. Press right arrow key.

Actual Results:  
Cursor stays at the end of the text (visually: on the left hand). This is correct. At this position pressing left arrow does nothing (step 4).
Also in step 7. pressing right key does nothing.

Expected Results:  
In step 4. the cursor should move by one character right.
In step 7. the cursor should move by one character left.
