-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello,
Here's a list of bugs present in latest QT. These are mainly Arabic/RTL related bugs, but not only. There's no specific order. 1- RTL bugs: - - ------------ a- After a call to QApplication::setReverseLayout(true), the QLineEdit and QTexEdit children objects have a default LTR alignment and the developer has to change the alignment to RTL by hand. The expected behaviour is to have the alignment of any newly created QLineEdit/QTextEdit objects to RTL by default after a call to QApplication::setReverseLayout(true). b- Almost the same as the point above. The editor of a QSpinBox is aligned LTR by default, even after a call to QApplication::setReverseLayout(true). The developer has to: 1- Create a derived class (the editor is a protected variable...) and 2- Set the alignment by hand. This is not the expected behaviour. c- The text (Arabic or English) of a QComboBox is not aligned on the right in RTL mode (after a call to QApplication::setReverseLayout(true) :-), and in that case there isn't even a way to do that by hand. The same goes for QTable _cells_ alignment. d- In RTL mode (again, after a call to QApplication::setReverseLayout(true) :-), the status bar messages are not shown, wether they are written in English or Arabic characters. In LTR the status bar messages are shown fine in any character set. e- QTable has a mirroring bug. Columns are not shown properly. I signalled this bug more than a year ago (see bug N16335) and i was told that this is a known problem (due to QScrollView) and that its resolution won't happen in the next few releases. However, since then there have been a good deal of releases :-) and that was not fixed yet. Please consider that using tables in RTL mode is simply almost useless if this bug persists. f- QListViews are not mirrored properly. I suppose this is related somehow to the point above ? g- When using the QT Arabic translation, the OK button text is displayed in English. I checked that the ts file contains indeed the proper translation for that button. The texts of other buttons (Apply, Cancel, Defaults) are displayed in Arabic correctly. h- The different QMessageBoxes (question, warning, etc) are not mirrored in RTL mode... ie icons are on the left, buttons are LTR. Everything should be RTL wether the text displayed is Arabic or English (that's we we mean by reveresedLayout after all :-) i- The translation of the 'No' button (in QMessageBox) in Arabic is 'ÙØ'. This is the correct translation that is indeed in the ts file used. However, the display shows this word doubled, ie 'ÙØ ÙØ'... Is that an accelerator problem ? j- In a QLineEdit brackets, braces, parenthesis, greater and less than signs, ... are always reversed if a line begins with one of these characters and an Arabic text is inserted following it. 2- Misc : - - --------- a- The method QWidget::sizeHint() does not take account of the widget caption. Is that done on purpose ? 3- Enhancements suggestions: - - ---------------------------- a- In RTL mode, all alignments should be by default set to right, even if there is only English text displayed (I'm thinking here about QLabels, QLineEdits, statusBar etc). However, the developer should be able to change the alignment after the object's creation. The same goes for LTR mode: Arabic should be aligned on the left and the developer (and thus the user) should be able to change the alignment by an easy method. b- What about adding to the library some new dialogs (like QFileDialog, QColorDialog..) in order to select the PenStyle and the BrushStyle (and even the PenJoinStyle and PenCapStyle) ? :-) PS: Is the ts file shipped with QT updated with the library strings ?
