In right-to-left mode, the binding selection button in keys preferences should point to the input field.

Which build? It works fine for me using 3.7 or 4.1 on Windows 7.

Bidi horizontal scrollbar

I found something interesting. This problem may have something to do with caching in Windows Remote Desktop (or a SWT problem, not sure).

Here is my scenario:
- Remote Desktop to a XP system
- Unzip a fresh Eclipse SDK 3.7.1 or 4.2
- Launch Eclipse in English normally (left-to-right)
- Goto the keys preferences page, verify that the binding selection button is pointing to the left (towards the input field)
- Exit Eclipse
- Launch Eclipse in English in right-to-left mode with option: -dir rtl
- Goto the keys preferences page, the binding selection button is pointing to the left (away from the input field) as seen in attachment 200141 [details].

The problem happened in Eclipse 3.7.1 (M20110714-1654) and 4.2 (I20110719-2201). When the problem happens, the left and right arrows in horizontal scrollbars are also swapped (both pointing toward the center of the horizontal scrollbar).

Rather looks like a Remote Desktop issue. Moving to SWT for final comment.

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.

If the bug is still relevant, please remove the "stalebug" whiteboard tag.
