how the java path looks

With the CTL Arabic UI enabled in Linux, if you open up the options dialog, the java path root folder '/' appears on the wrong end for some strange reason. This behavior isnt consistent as the root folder '/' for the online update download destination appears fine.

That is localizers' responsibility to properly use BiDi formatting characters.
Comment 3 Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2014-06-29 14:30:51 UTC
The java path is not something localizers have access to modify.
Comment 4 Firas Hanife 2014-06-30 13:32:37 UTC
Confirming here on openSUSE 13.1 with 4.2.5.2

Still present.

Still present and confirmed it happens in Hebrew as well.

So as mentioned previously, this doesnt happen with destpathlabel[1] but happens with javapath[2]. I'm assuming this should be a simple fix once a dev checks the relevant code, as there wasnt anything in glade that could fix it.

I tested with Hebrew UI.
