RTL language and clear icon

When I use right to left language the clear icon is shown on top of searched text. See attached image for more info.

Looks like the PlasmaComponents3.TextField does not reverse its clear button properly in RTL mode.
Comment 2 Nate Graham 2020-11-16 21:01:34 UTC
Actually it does reverse itself properly when running plasmashell in RTL mode (plasmashell --reverse) so part of the problem is that you're using an RTL language, but not putting Plasmashell into RTL mode. That will likely end up as another but or a local configuration problem.

The icon overlapping the text is a real issue though. I'll fix that.

Thanks, I didn't know I can put whole Plasma in RTL mode, is there any GUI settings where I can set it ? because I use french and arabic keyboard layouts (unfortunately Tifinagh is not available on KDE Plasma) at the same time and use only Alt+Shift or Ctrl+Alt+K to switch between them.

I'm afraid I don't know the answer to that question, sorry. :(
