Description amir CLA 2006-02-26 10:07:24 EST
1. Run Eclipse using -dir rtl attribute.
2. Open a regular file and GEF example file (File -> new -> example -> GEF WYSIWYG document Example.
3. Click next and type file name with .text extension. Click Finish.
4. The Editor is opened with the file.

Problem1: The direction icons should be switched in RTL mode. The LTR icon is accosiated with right arrow and the RTL icon with left arrow, where it should be opposite.


5. Click with the mouse on the source code on the text file (the last lines) in editor and click on LTR icon.

Expected Result: The code lines should have a LTR ordering schema thus the code will be readable.
Actual result (problem2): The ordering is still RTL, only the alignment is changed to left.

Can you please clarify the comments on the icons? I don't think they should switch at all, because 1) they contain characters, and 2) left and right are always the same. Are you saying that the icons *are* being mirrored? If so, we will have problems with BOLD and other icons.

You are right, please disregard the comment about the icons. I rechecked it and it is fine. Initially, I thought it was switched.

What about orientation problem (problem 2)?
