Description Djihed Afifi 2007-01-02 17:44:06 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Using gnome-terminal with an RTL locale (e.g ar, i.e Arabic), and having multiple tabs open in a gnome-terminal window, I cannot drag a tab to reorder it. When I do that, the tab suddenly moves to the far right and never moves again.

Steps to reproduce:
1. start gnome-terminal with arabic locale (LANGUAGE=ar gnome-terminal)
2. Open many tabs (4).
3. Move a tab to reorder it.


Actual results:
Tab moves to the far right, cannot move again.

Expected results:
Ability to move a tab around from corner to corner and between other tabs.

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

Other information:
This does not happen in Epiphany tabs. They behave just as expected.

Working on this, looking at terminal-notebook.c
under function find_tab_num_at_pos 

The problem is that gtk_notebook_get_nth_page is failing to find the right tab.

Why does this happen? I'd love any assistance. The bug seems to be in that function, but I can't work out a fix.

Note that we switched to GtkNotebook very recently.  Are you sure that the bug exists in the latest trunk?

I tried trunk. This is now fixed, Thanks.
