Description Muhammad Tailounie 2014-02-16 17:19:06 CET

Description of problem:

If you choose Arabic as your language in the installer of Mageia 4 64-bit, and maybe 32-bit too, clicking on Next and after accepting the license agreement, the installer shows an error as per the URL above. 

FATAL: invalid enum GtkTextDirection value Gtk3::widget. expecting: none / GTK_TEXT_DIR_NONE, ltr / GTK_TEXT_DIR_LTR, rtl / GTK_TEXT_DIR_RTL.

You may go on with the installation if you choose another LTR language along with Arabic, though.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Mageia 4 Installer

How reproducible:
Try to install over and over again.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start the installer off the DVD
2. In the step of choosing your language choose Arabic
3. Try to go on with the installation

Fixed in git & in Cauldron.
We might redo an ISO image.
