New issue 10630 by melado: Shortcut for activating RTL should not be
available in RTL systems
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=10630
Chrome Version : 2.0.174.0 (Build oficial 13645)
Other browsers tested:
Safari 4: OK
Firefox 3.x: OK
IE 7: OK
IE 8: OK
Every other app on Windows: OK ;)
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Find a textarea (bottom of this page for example) and write something
2. Press RightCtrl + RightShift (in this order)
What is the expected result?
Nothing should happen, since I don't have any RTL language support
installed; just like in the other browsers and everywhere
in Windows (Notepad, Wordpad, Word...).
What happens instead?
RTL is activated and user gets confused and frustrated :(
Please note that I am reporting this from the perspective of a non-RTL
user. I have Windows XP in Spanish and my keyboard is
in Spanish, and I _never_ use a RTL language. That's why I haven't checked
the first box in this screenshot (Control Panel >
Regional and Language Options > Install files for complex script and
right-to-left languages (including Thai)):

My suggestion: detect if RTL is available in Windows (it is if that box is
checked). If it is, enable shortcut. If it is
not, disable shortcut.
