rtl support in latest windows git build: wrong scrollbar alignment in the wordlist

[zandgreen]

Thanks to the advanced rtl support in the GoldenDict 1.5.0-RC-98-g46bbe67, we have right side alignment in the wordlist under the searchbar but..

there is a problem with the horizontal scrollbar alignment in the wordlist as it is aligned to the left side which makes disappear all the words if the list contains a longer search combination.

In other words the scrollbar horizontal gravity is set to the left while for the rtl languages it should be set to the right.

I'll provide screenshorts if needed.

Yes, please provide the screenshots. If you could, please make screenshots in both wordlist modes (use Ctrl+S to switch).

So, here are the screenshorts, as you may see we can't see the words in the wordlist as the horizontal scrollbar is slid to the end of the longest found combination and it should be aligned by the right side.

@Abs62, will you be able to look at it in 1.5 timeframe (i.e, in August)?

[Abs62]

Hm. In general case word lists (especially hystory list) can contain both rtl and ltr words. How we must handle this case?

[zandgreen]

@Abs62, That's a good point! As for the history list, there is no horizontal scroll (only "..." showing that there are more characters) so we should make visible a beginning of each string whether it's rtl or ltr. The example of incorrect display:

The short rtl words are aligned to the right and are displayed correctly but for the longer one (the first in the list) which we can see only the end.

@zandgreen, can you test the last Release Candidate version, GoldenDict 1.5.0-RC-156-g8a20ec7, that includes above change made by Abs62? Download it from the following page: https://github.com/goldendict/goldendict/wiki/Early-Access-Builds-for-Windows

[zandgreen]

@chulai, looks like both issues have been solved in the latest RC. Rtl lines are displayed correctly in the wordlist and history boxes.

[Tvangeste]

Excellent, thanks for verification.

Thanks for everyone.
