How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:

can you provide a screenshot please ?

Comment 2 Muhammad Tailounie 2016-04-15 20:32:55 CEST

I could provide video, because those dialogues disappear when clicking away from them!

Sorry to answer so late. It seems that I am the only one testing Arabic :)

Last night I did a network install of Plasma MGA 6 STA 2 64-bit. This bug is still there. Moreover, the desktop icons with Arabic names are split on two rows- I mean the same word is split on two rows..this should not occur because it is wrong in Arabic.

Some Menus show better, though, but the bug is still open.. :(

Comment 9 Nicolas Lécureuil 2017-03-14 16:46:24 CET

is this bug still valid under Plasma 5.8.6 ?

Comment 10 Muhammad Tailounie 2017-03-14 18:35:43 CET

Unfortunately; it is still there. Personally; I wouldn't be comfortable using the system that way. :(

Comment 11 Nicolas Lécureuil 2017-04-22 18:41:47 CEST

can you please report this upstream ?

Comment 12 Samuel Verschelde 2017-07-10 16:24:32 CEST

It might be good to add a note about this in the Errata, thus I'm adding the
FOR_ERRATA6 keyword.

Once added to https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mageia_6_Errata please replace
FOR_ERRATA6 with IN_ERRATA6.

Resolved in Mageia 7 Beta2 latest updates.

Resolution: (none) => FIXED
