JComboBox inconsistent with RIGHT_TO_LEFT Component Orientation

XMLWordPrintable

      Name: jk109818 Date: 01/13/2003


      FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
      java version "1.4.1_01"
      Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1_01-b01)
      Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.1_01-b01, mixed mode)

      FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION :

      Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      When using a JComboBox with String item and setting its
      component orientation to RIGHT_TO_LEFT, the text doesn't
      right-align while the caret does move to left (the correct
      behavior for RTL). But after making selection changes in
      the combobox and changing the component orientation a few
      times (LEFT_TO_RIGHT, then back to RIGHT_TO_LEFT), it'll
      work.

      STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
      1. run the sample given (this is the sample code from bug
      report 4230443)
      2. click on rtl 3. select "Two" in the combo box
      4. click on ltr
      5. click on rtl

      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      after step 2, you'll see that the text is left aligned.
      but after step 5, the text will be right aligned.

      It should be right aligned in both cases.


      REPRODUCIBILITY :
      This bug can be reproduced always.

      /*
       This is a testcase for ComponentOrientation bugs in JComboBox. Please note
       the following problems:
          1- setComponentOrientation() by itself has no effect on JComboBox. You have
             to loop through its children to get the desired effect.
          2- Even when you do so, the button and the scrollbar are still always on
      the
             right side regardless of the current orientation. They should be on the
             left side for RIGHT_TO_LEFT orientation.
          3- When the JComboBox is editable, it cannot be flipped.
