I've seen somewhere what's exactly changed and what to do in this case but
cannot remember url.Changes affected text edit widgets (QLineEdit,
QTextEdit etc), and from 4.7 default behaviour is auto for LTR and RTL. You
must create and send an event about it to each control to get old
behaviour, that's all I remember , but don't know what event.
Try to look into Changes text of 4.7 source, maybe it's there ...
