#517 RTL controls missing for Persian (Farsi)

[Afshin Falatooni]

Hello.
Firstly, Thank you for your product.
I need a new feature. My language is Persian (Farsi) and this language has RTL direction.
When I want write my notes in "Subject" and "Description" field, there is not any RTL controls for this.
Please add this functionality.
Thanks.

Hi Afshin,

As discussed via email: this is a bug in the underyling GUI toolkit (wxWidgets). It has been fixed, but it may take a while before it finds its way into Task Coach. To indicate this I have set the resolution to 'Later' and the priority to 1.

Cheers, Frank

What's the status on this? Have we updated to the latest wxWidgets where this is fixed by now?

Though I can't find a trace of it in the actual documentation, this blog post

http://wxwidgets.blogspot.fr/2006/10/right-to-left-layout-rtl-support-in.html

suggests it was implemented in CVS around the time of the 2.7 version; we're using 2.8 so I guess it is fixed.
