Description i_bluestein 2011-12-17 07:54:43 UTC
Version:           4.7 (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

Hello.

After upgrading from 4.7.2 to 4.7.4 I have noticed that in all folders for all accounts (POP3, IMAP), in all RTL mails (Hebrew, to be specific) the letters  displayed in the reverse order.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
All mails (new and old alike) displayed in this manner.

Sent a new RTL message to myself from an external account.

Actual Results:  
Digits stand for displayed letter's position:
          123<

Expected Results:  
Digits stand for expected letter's position:
          321<

Correct RTL alignment is preserved.
Correct letters order while composing a new mail.
Correct letters order displayed while opening Message > Edit Message window on an existing mail.

"Enhanced support for languages written right-to-left" in qtconfig is enabled.

Comment 3 i_bluestein 2012-01-27 06:51:00 UTC
Just upgraded.
Oddly and unfortunately - yes.
Any clue on how to proceed?

This bug has only been reported for versions before 4.14, which have been unsupported for at least two years now. Can anyone tell if this bug still present?

If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of kmail2 (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.12 or later), it gets closed in about three months.

Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
