Description

The Orientation support in Pre_FCS_G appears to be incomplete.
When the Orientation is set to RTL for a given component, 
it should mirror its appearance, and also should be applied 
to its children(in case it is a container component like JFrame,
JTable,...) RTL Orientation is of great importance in bidi 
specially in the following components

JTextComponents: Writting should go from right to left.

JTable: Columns should be reversed
         (i.e the most left column -> most right) and so forth, 
         and alignement in column contents should also be reversed.

JTree: The symbol should be at the right and the text at the 
left,and it should goes from right to left for it cascading 
levels

JComboBox: The drawing symbol should be at the left and the 
text to the right.

JCheckBox JCheckBoxMenuItem, JRadioButton, JRadioButtonMenuItem 
and JToggleButton: Should have the label string at the left 
and the symbol at the right.

Comments
EVALUATION We are tracking this problem with individual bug reports on each component that does not respond correctly to ComponentOrientation. For example, see bugs: 4230443, 4265389, 4265457, 4265461 or 4265463. I am closing this as a duplicate of 4230443 only because bugtraq will not let me close it as a duplicate of a list of bugs. brian.beck@Eng 1999-12-06
