Questions about Bug 39370:RTL / LTR and right/left alignment buttons' icons should not be reversed in RTL interface.

[Manal M. Alhassoun]

Hello all,

Here is the bug's page: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39370


1- First, In the RTL UI, Does the toolbar automatically flips the order and alignment of its items ?

2- I'm thinking to solve this bug by adding a new Formatting Toolbar for the RTL UI that have the buttons in their preferable location.
I was able to add a new toolbar, but couldn't change the default one.

What do you think about this approach?
How can I determine the default toolbars?


3- As indicated in the bugzilla comments #11
The Bullets and Numbering icons are actually mirrored in RTL UI, not only in the reverse order.
For me I don't think this is a problem for the Bullets button, but for the Numbering it's really look weird.
I tried to solve this by prevent the Numbering button from mirroring:

framework/source/uielement/toolbarmanager.cxx:ToolBarManager::UpdateImageOrientation()
if( Application::GetSettings().GetLayoutRTL() )

if(!((aMirrorCmd == ".uno:DefaultNumbering") || (aMirrorCmd == ".uno:NumberOrNoNumber")))

{

            pIter = m_aCommandMap.find( aMirrorCmd );

            if ( pIter != m_aCommandMap.end() )

               pIter->second.bMirrored = sal_True;

}
What do you think?
It seems to work, but I'm not sure if it's the "correct" way to do it

Any suggestion or code pointers would be appreciated.

P.S. I'm a beginner in LibreOffice development so sorry for any silly question, but I really want to learn : )

Thanks in advance.
