           Summary: When using RTL interface, do not make terminal
                    emulator RTL
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Unlisted Binaries
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: kde-51 at dotancohen.com


KDE has terrific RTL support, and almost all applications can be configured to
use an RTL interface including Konsole. However, when Konsole is in RTL mode
the terminal editor should _not_ be made RTL. It currently is made RTL when
Konsole is in RTL mode, and that leads to terrible breakage.

There is no use case for an RTL terminal emulator, but despite that there are
many use cases for LTR terminal emulators in RTL applications. One is Konsole
itself: I prefer having the menus in Hebrew even though the terminal editor
itself should be LTR. Another use case is Dolphin: the Dolphin UI should of
course be in the user's native language but the embedded terminal emulator
should be LTR nonetheless.

Thanks!
