As the language is written in RTL, the activity name is displayed before the icon and not after it.
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2021-04-11 16:49:04 UTC
Icons and text do not reverse themselves automatically because they're using old fashioned anchor-based positioning code
Comment 4 David Edmundson 2021-04-11 21:11:12 UTC
anchors reverse with Qt RTL
Comment 5 Nate Graham 2021-04-12 14:01:16 UTC
Well then something about it's not working
Comment 6 Niccolò Venerandi 2025-09-23 11:41:36 UTC
The position of the activity name and its icon correctly swap in KDE Plasma 6.5.
