Description Muhammad Tailounie 2016-04-06 20:08:40 CEST 
Description of problem:
Many dialogue boxes and windows do not show correctly in an Arabic installation of Mageia. It can be very serious at times when you cannot click on an option because it ovelaps other components or it is out of visibility sometimes.

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


How reproducible:
Try using pop-up menus or some application in plasma. Open up preferences windows..etc.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Mageia 6 Plasma in Arabic
2. Use it :)

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
