right-to-left tooltips messed up.

[liorwohl]

when using gnome with rtl language- the away tooltips completely messed up in most (~90%) of the contacts.

[liorwohl]

i still have the problem in pidgin 2.1

and i have checked in Gaim 2 beta (from ubuntu feisty) and there the tooltips look ok... so its a regression

[db42]

is there somewhere access to the code where he claims the program didn't exist ? (also msg to myself to try and fix it ).

[db42]

fixes this problem

[db42]

Now it works ok ?

[seanegan]

thanks!

[seanegan]

the name still looks all screwed up.

[db42]

It seems to work here, can you show a screenshot ?

[db42]

can anybody please test this patch and report if it works for them (since it does seem to work for me). Also if not, I would appreciate screenshots of the faulty tooltips.

Good job! This bug was on my TODO list :)

screenshot after db42 patch

(for some reason I was not able to attach the image to the bug :-| )

As you can see, the contact Alias/ICQ#/MSN-ID is still not aligned.

[liorwohl]

i tested again with pidgin 2.4 and the problem is still there...

[liorwohl]

completly blank... ):

From the screenshots, it looks like this patch still needs some work.

[db42]

an improved version of the bug fix, should work ok now.

[db42]

Ok, i've looked into the problem again and have come up with a better solution hopefully, please test it and report any issues.

Tested the patch and it worked great for me. (I did not review the code) patch utility reported an offset of 68 lines (patching into latest MTN)- patch probably needs a minor update.

[shlomil]

ping. A good time to accept this patch would be right about.... now?

[db42]

now that #4449 has been fixed, what about this ? :)
