[Lazarus] Configure Installed Packages layout

[Juha Manninen]

Hi,

Could someone please explain the visual layout of dialog:
  Packages --> Configure Installed Packages

Normal convention is to have list of available items on left side and list of 
selected items on right side. When an item gets selected, it moves from left 
to right. This dialog has it the other way around.

Is it perhaps a layout issue connected to different cultures or spoken 
languages? With "Right_to_Left" languages like Arabic it could be logical to 
also reverse the order of lists. Text-edit controls often support bi-
directional text, but there is no way to relocate listboxes automatically.

Or, is there some OS / window manager having this convention? Even OK and 
Cancel buttons have different orders so why not listboxes.

Or is it just a bug without any philosophy behind it?


Regards,
Juha Manninen
