Build ID: I20090611-1540

Steps To Reproduce:
Left , Right orientation options in CLabel is not working correctly , Left is not implemented as absolutely left , Right is not implemented as absolutely right.
Left , Right are implemented as lead and trail.
In LTR, visuallly
lead edge = left edge
trail edge = right edge
In RTL,
lead edge = right edge
trail edge = left edge

please change the strings to lead , trail ,
instead of left , right to remove any confusion , as Left,Right alignments are
Bidi terms which means absolute Left and absolute Right.

See Bug 208884 for more information.

Guys you're filing tickets against the wrong project.

You should be filing swt related issues on the Platform/SWT component. SWTBot is a testing tool for swtbot.

You want us to change the string in ControlExample/CustomControlExample.
The alignment box, where it says left it should say lead, and where it says right it should say trail.

I think that will help bidi users, but for the rest of us it will probably cause confusion i'm afraid.

Silenio ?
