[Qt-interest] QTextEdit input from right to left (SOLVED)

[Yong Zhang]

Hi Diego,

Yes I agree the way to solve it is ugly. If you know a better way please 
let me know. My goal is to monitor every single change made to the 
QTextEdit and respond to that. There is no complex code/logic behind it 
so I am wondering if it is a bug for QTextEdit.

Thanks,

Yong
