[Bug 871764] Re: Ubuntu right-to-left consistency

 

Dear Haggai, thank you for the input and the work.

Dear Mark, thank you.

Dear David, can you tell me why this is Wishlist, please?

Unity 2D is, in my opinion, the preferred over Unity proper for RTL
locales in precise. It is mirrored and it works nicely!

Here are a few RTL related bugs in Unity 2D:

Thanks and blessings,
Shahar

Bug description:
  Most toolkits properly deal with right-to-left, properly inverting the
  UI.

  When doing ISO testing, I noticed it's not quite the case for unity
  greeter and unity, here are some notes of the inconsistencies I
  noticed:

  = Unity =
  - Launcher is on the left, identical to a left-to-right system
  - Indicators are on the right, identical to a left-to-right system

  I'm not sure what's the best as I'm not a right-to-left user myself,
  but we should either have Unity also invert its UI, making it
  consistent with what's done in the greeter's panel.

  [This report previously also covered RTL in the greeter, which is
  tracked separately in bug 834386.]
