Mac right-to-left issue
-
All,
I'm seeing some different behavior on Mac OSX (when compared to Windows) with regards to right-to-left layout direction. It's hard to believe the following is broken:
@
#include <QtGui/QComboBox>
#include <QtGui/QApplication>
#include <QtGui/QVBoxLayout>int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);
a.setLayoutDirection(Qt::RightToLeft);QWidget w; QVBoxLayout *layout = new QVBoxLayout(); QComboBox *comboBox = new QComboBox(&w); layout->addWidget(comboBox); w.setLayout(layout); w.setMinimumWidth(300); w.show(); comboBox->insertItems(0, QStringList() << "This is a test" << "This is a second test"); return a.exec();
}
@On Windows, the layout is right-to-left as expected. On Mac, the layout is still left-to-right. I'm using Qt 4.7.2 (Cocoa) on OSX Lion (10.7.2). I'm compiling with XCode 4.2.1. Is anyone seeing anything similar?

Is this the cause of your problem?
bq. From "QWidget docs/layoutDirection":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/qwidget.html#layoutDirection-prop:
This method no longer affects text layout direction since Qt 4.7. -
[quote author="fluca1978" date="1322756049"]Does it change anything forcing the layout direction even on the vertical layout too? Could be a problem of layout parenting? Just thinking...[/quote]
It doesn't change anything...
