SWT.RIGHT_TO_LEFT tree doing strange thing with non-alphanumeric characters [message #1131263]

Hi!

I've encountered the following problem using SWT.RIGHT_TO_LEFT tree:
Suppose i have the following label for Item:

Some label

And everything is fine with it. But when I change it to

Some (label)

it becomes

(Some (label

And even more strange (for me Smile

) thing is when I change it to

Some (label)1

it displays same text again.

Non-alphabetic characteds (such as spaces) won't help with it.

I'm using SWT.RIGHT_TO_LEFT for tree in mapping component, so expanding tree from right to left is important, but changing label text is not desired.

Is there any way to work around it?

P.S. Platfrom I'm using is Windows 7/x64

SWT just uses the platform specific APIs to set the RIGHT_TO_LEFT orientation and the actual rendering of the text in LTR or RTL orientation is taken care of by the platform itself. So I'm afraid SWT cannot do anything here.
However, what you're observing here seems to be the appropriate behaviour for RTL text, please check this link for more details - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5741522/brackets-displays-wrongly-for-right-to-left-display-style
I have tested this on Linux and found the exact same behaviour there too.
