Bug ID: 428034
Summary: "Align Left" in Krita keeps the text right-aligned for
Arabic (RTL)
Product: krita
Version: 4.4.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Tool/Text
Assignee: krita-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: munzirt...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Left and Right has the same meaning for Arabic as other languages. However,
"Align Left" in Krita keeps the text aligned right for Arabic (RTL). Krita
chose to use SVG's attribute text-anchor:start instead of text-anchor:left when
left is explicitly chosen. The same applies for right. text-anchor:start only
makes sense when no alignment explicitly chosen.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Choose SVG Text Tool.
2. Type Arabic text. (Result: text is right-aligned which is correct).
3. Click the "Align Left" button. (Result: Nothing changed where it should
left-align).
OBSERVED RESULT
Text is right-aligned
EXPECTED RESULT
Text should be left-aligned after clicking "Align Left"
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: Arch Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.74
Qt Version: 5.15.1
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Calligra Words does the alignment correctly so it can be used as a reference.
