Hi

I am using Qt 4.7.4 Win.
My problem is that the RTL feature seems not to work for the HTML “table” element.
e.g. the following works fine for LTR languages

Qt Code: 
  1. QString htmtext("<table>"
  2.     "<tr><td>name1<td>name2....")
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

But I have to work around this to have it work for RTL “Arabic” as follows:

Qt Code: 
  1. QString htmtext("<table>"
  2.     "<tr><td>name2<td>name1....")
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Very annoying when working with big table.

Using dir=“rtl” proved to be of no use here too; is it a bug or Qt works this way?


here is a sample of the main part that I keep tweaking:

Qt Code: 
  1. #include <QTextBrowser>
  2.  
  3.     void showtable(int lang)
  4.     {
  5.      QtextBrowser *textBrowser = new QtextBrowser;
  6.      QString report;
  7.  
  8.                 switch (lang)
  9.                 {
  10.                 case 0://Arabic
  11.                     {
  12.                     textBrowser->setLayoutDirection(Qt::RightToLeft);// works fine for layout only but not RTL text rendered insude QTextBrowser
  13.  
  14.                     //-----------table header
  15.                     report = "<table width=\"100%\" dir=rtl align=right border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=1>" //RTL bug???
  16.                               "<tr><td align=center colspan=3><H3>"+tr("Media Details")+"<font color=red><b> [</b>"+name+"<b>]</b></font>"
  17.                               "<tr><td align=center bgcolor=\"#EBEBEB\" width=\"50%\"><b>"+tr("Details")+"</b>"
  18.                               "<td align=center bgcolor=\"#EBEBEB\" width=\"20%\"><b>"+tr("Logo")+"</b>"//make nicer

  25.                     break;
  26.                     }
  27.                 case 1://English
