Bug Description

distribution: Trusty tahr
Here is how the clock appears in my gnome shell:

Even though I'm using the Arabic language, this is not how the clock should be displayed.

The clock still works well (currently: 9:33) but the only problem is that it appears inverted as you see in the picture above. Also, the date is correct and written in the correct format.

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, gnome shell version 3.10.4.
According to the settings, Ubuntu identifies the Arabic language (Lebanon) correctly:

Thanks for taking the time to report this Mohammad.

Additionally this might be regression introduced in 14.04.2 however, I am unable to confirm this.

I am use Ubuntu-Gnome-14.04.3. If I use Urdu (another RtL language) the clock time appears inverted.
