The arrows for "Next" & Previous" / (Forward & Back) when the screen switch to RTL would be pointing like this: ------> <----- Forward Back The right direction should be : <--- ----> Back Forward Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Pick Arabic as your Lang while installing 2.Press Next Actual Results: Screen will be switched to Arabic .. Arrows will be pointing in wrong directions facing each others like this: -------> <---- Forward Back Expected Results: Arrows should be swapped in place to point to the right direction when RTL happens, and should look like: <----- ------> Back Forward Additional info:
Ops .. I got that wrong .. sorry .. it should be: <------ ------> Forward Back
Hrmmm, as far as I can tell, the right thing *should* be happening unless I'm missing something. Adding gtk guys to the cc list to tell me if there's more I should have to do :) Also, attaching trivial test program that shows gtk-go-forward as --> with the direction set to RTL.
Created attachment 102312 [details] test program that shows this
Try with a different theme and you'll see that the direction swaps properly. The Bluecurve icon theme doesn't have the necessary multiple images for the stock icons.
I am not if I am missing something here .. I am talking about Anaconda installation ... FC3 installation has Arabic in the first screen which you can choose to have the interface arabic. So what Themes are we talking about here? And why it is has been changed to art work ?
The installer uses the default Red Hat theme "Bluecurve", and the problem is coming from the icons in that theme.
Ahaa .. now it makes more sense : )
Hi all, Sorry I was busy last days, this patch will fix the problem ... it is a small hack that I use to fix the RTL/LTR buttons direction in anaconda, I have another one for firstboot (I will email it to the anaconda devel list too): diff -Naur anaconda-10.0.1/gui.py anaconda-10.0.1-new/gui.py --- anaconda-10.0.1/gui.py 2004-06-21 21:51:17.000000000 +0300 +++ anaconda-10.0.1-new/gui.py 2004-08-01 08:04:33.705498976 +0300 @@ -741,6 +741,21 @@ self.updateStockButtons() self.loadReleaseNotes() self.refreshHelp(recreate = 1) + self.chkRtLButtons() + + def chkRtLButtons(self): + ltrrtl = gettext.dgettext("gtk20", "default:LTR") + if ltrrtl == "default:RTL": + self.buttonBox.remove (self.nextButtonStock) + self.buttonBox.remove (self.prevButtonStock) + self.buttonBox.add (self.nextButtonStock) + self.buttonBox.add (self.prevButtonStock) + else: + self.buttonBox.remove (self.prevButtonStock) + self.buttonBox.remove (self.nextButtonStock) + self.buttonBox.add (self.prevButtonStock) + self.buttonBox.add (self.nextButtonStock) + def setLtR(self): ltrrtl = gettext.dgettext("gtk20", "default:LTR") @@ -1350,6 +1365,7 @@ self.buttonBox.add (self.prevButtonStock) self.buttonBox.add (self.nextButtonStock) + self.chkRtLButtons() self.hbox = gtk.HBox () self.hbox.set_border_width(5)

Fixing this in the tools is wrong and will cause *incorrect* rendering once redhat-artwork is fixed.
so what about switching icons, like use gtk-go-next icon for RTL back use gtk-go-back icon for RTL next what do you say? dear Owen what will be the fix in the redhat-artwork package? Thank you Regards Basem Narmok

redhat-artwork 0.99-1 has correct rtl icons.
