Sure, I don't agree because we as RTL user start looking from right to left and this is the opposite! For media player, it is somehow accepted since the UI is very simple and every thing is force to be LTR mode. To do that in Krita the whole dock must be LTR which will weird when everything is in RTL mode. > --- > > By the way, should sliders (e.g. the "Speed" slider in the screenshot) be > mirrored to have the bar extend from right to left too? The slider should follow the layout of the timeline dock. If it is RTL the progress should start from right (0%) to left (100%) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Well, "expected" is a vague concept... the button to the right of the "Stop" button is "Back", and if you expect all of the layout to simply be mirrored, then yes that seems working as expected. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

It looks like some modifications to some of the layouting math needs to be made for RTL layout considerations. I'm also not super happy with the frame number alignment in either RTL or LTR, so some modifications would be nice there anyway... Out of curiosity, are the timeline transport controls working as expected and the icons are just backwards? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
