I'm sorry, but you are confusing several issues here. The question is
not whether to implement BiDi (yes, provided we find the working hands
to do it) or mirroring (yes, except I don't think we need to bother
with mirroring the window decoration UI components that Windows does,
and I have not heard anyone else weight in on this issue lately). The
question is whether Wine's built in application should set a specific
flag to do automatic mirroring.
Since Word is not a Wine built in application, what it does is
irrelevant for this discussion, not because we don't intend to support
it, but because it is undisputed we do.
Thank you for the clarification on what the thread was all about. I
thought it was a general RTL/LTR conversation. Pardon the interruption.
Everyone on the thread does have a valid point though and I'll continue
to watch rather than shout out a comment where it is not needed.
