GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 347010
Nautilus file label show RTL text the wrong way

Filenames for files with Hebrew names are aligned to the left instead of right. I guess this should be an easy fix, changing the Pango layout...
Thanks for your bug report! We're using file labels at various places. Maybe you could attach a screen shot illustrating the problem?
Created attachment 68664 [details] Text below icons Here you can see that though the text is centred, the text is treated as LTR text instead of RTL, and that's why the parentheses aren't positioned correctly. The proper behaviour is to use the direction of the first directed character, like GtkEntry does.
Created attachment 68665 [details] Text beside icons Here, in addition to the previous problem, you can also see that the text is aligned to the left side of the label, while it should be aligned to the right (again, it should be determined by the direction of the paragraph).
This is still a bug in recent versions, I've updated the version info for this bug. Any news regarding it?
Yaron, can you check if this reproduced in 2.18? I am unable to see this in Ubuntu 7.04 (gnome 2.18). If it still happens, please state your nautilus preferences. Also, there is a bug on the text beside icons issue: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=406496
eel as a standalone product is no longer maintained. However, large parts of eel was imported into the eel sub directory in nautilus. Can you please check again whether this issue still happens in nautilus 3.0.2 or upcoming nautilus 3.2.0 and update this report by adding a comment so that the bug can be reassigned to nautilus if it's still valid.
This should work fine in Nautilus nowadays.
