SUMMARY
Arrow key behaviour in Kickoff for favourites in RTL languages in bugged.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set system to RTL language
2. Make sure QT translation files are installed so that UI shifts to RTL mode
3. Make sure Kickoff is added in the panel
4. Have enough applications set as favourites to test keyboard control
5. Try arrow keys in favourites and notice weird behaviour

OBSERVED RESULT
Cannot access all icons with arrow keys. Direction moved of the blue outline seems to be opposite.

EXPECTED RESULT
Normal behaviour as in LTR mode.
