Description Yaron Shahrabani 2026-04-13 19:58:35 UTC 
SUMMARY
In an RTL system the Web Browser widget is showing the back and forward button facing each other instead of the other way around

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In an RTL configured system add the Web Browser widget to the desktop
2. It should appear right when configured

OBSERVED RESULT
The arrows are facing each other.

EXPECTED RESULT
The arrows should be the other way around

This likely shares the same cause as bug 518932, they're probably using the same element under the hood

I can reproduce this on Plasma built from git-master

Webbrowser: Use rtl symbolic icons if needed

Instead of always using same icons,
check for RTL mode and use the RTL icon
if necessary. Fixes an issue with arrows
pointing at each other in RTL.
