Any progress here?  This has b een in the new state for almost 6 months.
Comment 3 Kevan Holdaway CLA 2012-12-04 09:32:57 EST 
Is this fixed in Eclipse 4.2.x?
Comment 4 Dani Megert CLA 2012-12-04 10:10:58 EST 
I just tried plain 3.6.2:
http://archive.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.6.2-201102101200/

and 4.2.1:
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/R-4.2.1-201209141800/


1. download one of the two builds
2. start new workspace with -dir rtl
==> all text is on the right.

The screen shot added clearly shows Windows platform.  This is a linux bug.
Comment 7 Kevan Holdaway CLA 2012-12-06 15:18:44 EST 
And to clarify, it does indeed work on Windows.  When this bug was opened we also discovered that it only applied to Linux.  We saw it on RedHat.  I am sure its not specific to Redhat.  But it is a bug that doesn't apply to Windows.

Yes, I only tested on Windows. So this looks like an SWT bug then.

Still reproducible on 4.8 M7, GTK3.22, Fedora 28.

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. As such, we're closing this bug.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. 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.
