Description Tod Creasey CLA 2004-10-20 12:45:48 EDT 
We need an override for part orientation for individual parts.

The main question I have is if we should change the orientation of the tab or 
change the orientation of just the contents.

Alex and Semion what are your opinions? The issue we have with this is 
potentially mixing two orientations of tabs in the same tab list which may 
look really bad.

Example of parts with different orientations

I think, currently it only make sence to set orientation of the contents.
Comment 2 Semion Chichelnitsky CLA 2004-10-28 05:02:54 EDT 
Tod, I woild like remind once more of our suggestion: default orientation of 
editors should be LTR; default orientation of viewers should be inherited from 
their arents.
Comment 3 Tod Creasey CLA 2004-11-08 11:16:43 EST 
This has been released for build 20041109
Comment 4 Tod Creasey CLA 2004-12-15 11:10:47 EST 
Verified the editor override in 20041213
Comment 5 Randy Hudson CLA 2005-03-16 09:56:53 EST 
Can someone explain why editors should have LTOR defaults? It doesn't make 
sense to have some widgets like Trees and Tables oriented RTOL, but other LTOR.
Comment 6 Tod Creasey CLA 2005-03-16 10:01:18 EST 
Randy this is not the case. Please check the class in question before reopening
a report.

The default is orientation for all workbench parts.

Sorry Tod, I was looking for activity on bug 84323 and decided to track down 
the cause of the problem. Looking at CVS now, I see that that bug should be 
resolved as a dupe of bug 82951. I'll make the change.
