App buttons overlapping YT Music menu with RTL languages

Open guimondmm opened this issue 6 years ago • 0 comments

Problem:

The app doesn't seem to obey the OS language layout direction nor the YouTube Music language setting to position its window control buttons.

When YT Music is set to a right-to-left language (e.g., Hebrew), this causes the window control buttons to overlap most of the user's profile pic, which doubles as the dropdown menu to access YT Music settings. As a result, one is likely to accidentally maximize/minimize the window when trying to access said menu.

Expected behaviour:

When YT Music is set to a right-to-left language, its controls should be placed in the upper right corner and mirrored (that is, maximize on the left, minimize in the centre, and close on the right).

Alternatively, the app should obey the OS language direction layout (assuming the OS is set to the same language as YT Music) or leave enough vertical clearance between the window control buttons and the YT Music interface to prevent such an overlap in the first place.

Observe the overlap in the upper left corner of the screenshot below.

Compare with the positioning of the window control buttons in iTunes using the same language.
