Created attachment 189622 [details] Screenshot of the bug, represented on Francis' icon SUMMARY When using a Right-To-Left (RTL) system language (such as Hebrew and Arabic), the green progress indicator on the Task Manager animates from left to right, instead of following the expected right-to-left direction. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Use KDE Plasma in Hebrew or Arabic (or open plasmashell in RTL mode). 2. Trigger an operation that displays a progress bar on the Task Manager (e.g. file downloading, app installation, file operation). 3. Observe the direction of the green progress animation. OBSERVED RESULT The progress indicator animates from the left to the right, as if the interface was LTR, resulting in inconsistent behaviour within RTL locales. EXPECTED RESULT The progress indicator should animate from the right to the left when the system is configured to use a RTL locale, matching the overall interface direction.
