Build Identifier: 

Problem: RTL affecting path names and negative numbers. 


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Here is the 1st test scenario :
1)  Expand the library project, the model folder, and double click on library.genmodel, if it is not already open in the editor.
2)  Open the Generatorpull-down menu 
3)  Select Show Annotations from the menu
4)  Right click the top-most Library object in the editor 
5)  Select Show Properties View from the pop-up menu. 
6)  Verify the view’s appearance

Here is 2nd test scenario
1)  The Logic Example should now be open with a complex drawing on it.
2)  Display the property sheet from the Window menu (Window. -> Show View > Other… -> General -> Properties).
3)  Click on the LED at the bottom that is displaying "10". 
4)  It has 3 properties that should be translated:  Location, Size and Value

I'm not sure what we can do here.  The BiDi support works by knowing in advance the kind of text being displayed.  Ex, that a given field will be a file, and should use the org.eclipse.equinox.bidi.StructuredTextTypeHandlerFactory.FILE support.

The properties view just knows to display properties.  Maybe enhancing org.eclipse.ui.views.properties.IPropertyDescriptor ?

Hi all,

Do we have any update on this issue? ALL negative numbers on Numeric fields display are wrong, example "-1" display as "1-".
Thanks.

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.
