Description Stanislav Maksimov CLA 2007-01-30 11:15:10 EST 
Build ID: M20060629-1905

Steps To Reproduce:
1. Run your draw2d app in Linux with a Hebrew locale selected (-nl iw)
2. The figures are displayed the same way as they're in LTOR



More information:
This does work correctly in Windows XP.

Eclipse does not support mirroring on any platform other than win32.

Randy, is this Eclipse or GEF/draw2d specifically? The product we develop for is going through loads of Linux and BIDI testing at the moment and I know that its RCP/Eclipse part does work in Linux RTOL to a major extent.

You need to provide more details:
what do you expect to happen?
what is actually happening?
How is GEF different from non-GEF editors such as PDE's plugin.xml?

I expect it to work the same way as it does on win32.

> what is actually happening?
It doesn't work: shows up as LTOR when should be in RTOL.

But I see your point. Our draw2d diagram would work the same way as PDE's plugin.xml editor in Linux. It seems to be a duplicate of this one: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=115666

Defer BIDI issues to the next release.
