Description Grant Gayed CLA 2008-09-04 12:43:53 EDT 
- run the ControlExample and go to the DateTime tab
- in my case the current date is shown as 9/4/2008 (Sept. 4th)
- press the SWT.RIGHT_TO_LEFT radio, and the control's content becomes "4/2008/9"
  -> I'm not sure of what this should be for RTL, but I don't think the year should end up in the middle

I also notice that for style SWT.DATE the text becomes right-aligned when RTL is selected, but for style SWT.TIME it does not.  On win32 both of these styles become right-aligned when RTL.

SWT.DATE and SWT.TIME are emulated on GTK. I can't look at this right now, but here is a snapshot of what it should look like (snap taken on Windows with RTL).

GTK3 behaves like this now.
