Description Farzaneh Sarafraz 2006-08-05 16:09:01 UTC
In right-to-left locales, the direction of the arrows in the Forward/Reply buttons   should be flipped horizontally. I'll attach a screenshot.

Doesn't an issue like this depend on icon-naming-utils and a proper set of stock icons? First, we need stock icons for RTL locales, then we can use them. :)
Comment 3 André Klapper 2006-08-06 13:04:23 UTC
well, confirming - no idea about the procedure here though. :-)

Correct, and to my knowledge we're still waiting.  No changes to the Evolution code should be necessary.

Reassigning this to gnome-icon-theme, but I don't know if they distinguish between LTR and RTL locales.
Comment 6 Lapo Calamandrei 2010-08-14 16:55:18 UTC
Can you explain me the logic about what needs to be flipped in ltr locales or point me to some doc please?
Comment 7 André Klapper 2015-02-11 15:44:14 UTC
Resetting assignee to default to avoid cookie-licking (see bug 744024).

Jimmac: If you actively and realistically plan to work on this, please set yourself as assignee again so this ticket will be shown on top of your user page at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/page.cgi?id=describeuser.html

Thanks!

by following the guidelines at

Thank you for creating this report and we are sorry it could not be implemented so far (volunteer workforce and time is limited).
