Hello all,
I've just upgraded from 4.7 beta 1 to 4.7 final (under Linux). There seem
to be a number of changes to the way Qt handles Bidi (right to left) text
in 4.7 final. I tried to look for documentation that tells all the
specific changes and couldn't find anywhere.
The one specific change that I need to figure out how to "undo" is the
placement of right-to-left text. For all my QLabels and QTextEdit's, when
they start with Hebrew text, *now* the whole line is aligned-right,
whereas before the alignment was still aligned-left even though the text
was right-to-left. The layout-direction of all my widgets is set to
left-to-right (not auto). So I'm wondering how to go back to the old
behavior? I'm posting here because it doesn't seem like a bug, but a
conscious decision to change how bidi works, but maybe it is a bug?
Thanks.
Josh
