After some Googling, I found out there's another ppa for Elementary that seems to be more updated than the one I used before - https://launchpad.net/~elementary-os/+archive/daily. With this one, there's apparently a completely new design of Slingshot (much nicer, by the way) - which shows RTL texts correctly.
Can somebody confirm that this is indeed the latest development snapshot of Slingshot - and if so close the bug? Thanks and sorry for the multiple posts. ** Attachment added: "New Slingshot design?" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/slingshot/+bug/891371/+attachment/2601703/+files/Slingshot1.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/891371 Title: app names strings in foreign language that is RTL are reversed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/slingshot/+bug/891371/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
