Bug Description

GNOME Foundation and the GTK authors published a GTK version that has some issues with displaying RTL correctly as discovered by Yossef Or Boczko:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/6296

We just need to make sure this version is not packaged by Ubuntu as it will break all RTL apps (Hebrew, Arabic, Persian, Urdu, etc.) using this version of GTK.

There should be a fixed version soon.

The automated gettext update process mistakenly marked the "default:RTL" string as comment causing all apps in Hebrew to appear as RTL instead of LTR.

Does not seem to affect Arabic, Persian or Urdu.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set the user interface the Hebrew
2. Open any translated app using GTK.
3. It should appear LTR instead of RTL.
Actual Results:
The app is flipped to LTR (the wrong direction)

Expected Results:
The app should appear RTL.

Yosef Or Bozcko described that bug in more details in GNOME's GitLab issue: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/6296

The version is in Noble but Ubuntu translations go through launchpad and langpacks so the bug shouldn't end up impacting users (since launchpad still has knowledge of the translated string)

Changed in gtk+3.0 (Ubuntu):
importance: Undecided → Low
status: New → Triaged
