screen shot of the console presenter extension in Hebrew

Hi,

I'm reporting a problem on behalf of a user.

While viewing a presentation in impress, with the console presenter extension under the UI in Hebrew, the translation to Hebrew appear backwards ("abc" appears as "cba"). This affects all the text in the extension, including the titles about the presenter windows, the buttons (prev, next etc...).

I checked the stings in Pootle, and they look OK and in the right direction.

Attached is a screen shot, and a link to the translation in Poole of the string above the presenter big screen (in English the text is "Current Slide (%CURRENT_SLIDE_NUMBER% of %SLIDE_COUNT%)").

Comment 2 Lior Kaplan 2011-12-17 15:10:53 UTC
Reproducable also in 3.5.0 Beta1. I also notice a more severe behavior - the buttons order isn't reversed on display, but is reversed for clicking. 

So although the prev/next buttons are on the left side of the control bar, you should click on the right side of the bar to use these functionalities. Notice the position of the mouse cursor on the 2nd screetshot (on the exchange button), and which button is highlighted (the "next" arrow).

Taking the bug; there is no RTL support in the presenter view (it turns out), although thankfully we have some a11y support. The underlying canvas has no mirroring support either, so - quite some fun there ...

I handed my proto-patch over to Thorsten here :-)

patch for fixing presnter console standrad layout mode

This is part of the problem has been fixed 
hope to solve the rest.




We still have problem with the toolbar and the buttons  because vcl library  mirror the UI by default and we are trying to disable mirroring for presnter console. 



thanks.
