Comment 2 Felipe Heidrich CLA 2011-04-11 15:53:23 EDT 
Is this really necessary ?
Tooltip is not a control and it is very easy to recreate the tooltip with the correct orientation when needed. I suggest closing this issue as wont fix.

Test patch

1. Needs to be applied in project level on the "org.eclipse.swt.examples" project
2. The test to use are in the added package : 

org.eclipse.swt.examples.mirroringTest

3. The tests files are: ControlExample.java and ControlExampleRTL.java
(run them as Java application)

the main difference that there's two additional buttons for the set orientation property check, they're not recreate the widgets but call their setOrientation.

It's also not mirrored if recreated with the SWT.RIGHT_TO_LEFT, I mean to the icon of course the text displayed correct when recreated. You can see it in RTL GUI in test files there's an option to switch the direction of the main shell.
Comment 5 Felipe Heidrich CLA 2011-04-12 10:06:30 EDT 
You should rename this bug to: RTL support for Tooltip
as the current support is deficient.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
