Bug 119517 TVT3.1.x:TCT229: Directory/path/file name fields must be LTR
Wherever file name/paths are displayed, reading order must be LTR. Here's an example from the New Project dialog - you can see the project name is appended at the beginning of the path instead of the end because the Directory field has RTL reading order. I expect this pronlem was reported and maybe already fixed for Arabic? Attaching file. simplified testcase: - select File>New>Other>Simple>Project and click Next button - copy a few bidi characters (for example, from the description at the top of the wizard) - paste it into the Project name field - BIDIC:\Documents...\workspace is displayed in the Directory field, where BIDI is the bidi characters (see screen capture) This article was reassigned from Category:''Legacy Project,TVT,Uncategorized''.
