Bug Description
Hi,
With right-to-left languages, such as Hebrew and Arabic, the user interface is usually mirrored so that elements that were on the left are now on the right, and vice-versa. This is the status of the full gnome desktop today.
In the launcher, this happens correctly, but with a few problems:
1. The arrows pointing from the categories to the application launchers area are pointing in the wrong direction.
2. The categories text is slightly on their icons, without enough margin.
3. The launchers in a category are aligned to the left, and not to the right.
4. The keyboard shortcut to move from the categories list to the launchers area is still the right arrow key, even though the area is now to the left of the list.
These issues are rather minor, but they do make the launcher less attractive for right-to-left languages speakers, and the keyboard shortcut confusion makes it less usable.
Regards,
Haggai Eran
