            Bug ID: 322459
           Summary: Subject line not right-aligned when RTL (BiDi
                    regression)
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.10.5
          Platform: Debian unstable
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: composer
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs@kde.org
          Reporter: shai@platonix.com

When writing an RTL subject line in a new message, the subject line control
stays left-aligned -- but it should be right-aligned; text in the message body
does get the correct alignment automatically.

Surprisingly, if the composer window is resized, the subject is then aligned
correctly; but it should align correctly already when the subject is typed in.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
0. Have an RTL language available for use (Arabic and Hebrew are the most
common ones, AFAIK).
1. Start composing a new mail
2. Write an RTL subject
3. For comparison, also write an RTL (plaintext) body.
Actual Results:  
Subject line is left-aligned even with RTL content

Expected Results:  
Subject line should set its alignment according to its directionality

As noted, resizing the composer window appears to update alignment.
Note that directionality is set correctly automatically; the problem is only
with alignment.
An image showing the problem will be attached shortly (why can't I add it
now...?)
This is a regression from KMail1.
