Page turner progress bar should move leftward for RTL books

Open nathangibson opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

Description

(With much appreciation to @Pyrojet99 , @iisa, and others I don't know of who have worked to make RTL reading a good experience! ... ) Although the arrow buttons, arrow keys, and page turning animation all match the reading direction for right-to-left books, the progress bar on the bottom does not. It moves rightward as the reader progresses through the book leftward.

Evidence / Screenshot (if possible)

Expectation

For RTL books,

  • the progress bar should begin on the right for page 1 and move leftward as page numbers increase
  • dragging the progress bar handle leftward should increase the page numbers, rightward should decrease them
  • clicking to the left of the progress bar handle should jump to a later page, clicking to its right should jump to an earlier page

Context

FF 84.0 on Mac 10.14.6
