Round brackets not showing up correctly in RightToLeft flow direction in WPF

Flow direction in my WPF window is set to RightToLeft like so:

<TextBlock FlowDirection="RightToLeft" x:Name="test">

In code if I do test.Text = "(2/3)"; I see

(2/3)

But if I do test.Text = "asdf (2/3)"; I see

(asdf (2/3

What's going on here? Why is it that starting the text with a string changes the positioni开发者_JAVA技巧ng of the brackets?

I am not sure, but another more complex workaround is:

Unfortunately this is a bug that we have recently discovered. You may be able to work around this issue by puttting some "invisible" non punctuation text at the end of your content like this:

{example modified}

<TextBlock FlowDirection="RightToLeft" x:Name="test">                    
    <Run>Label1 (cms)</Run>
    <Run FontSize=".01">i</Run>
</TextBlock>

When you have punctuation text at the end of the content try to use:

HorizontalContentAlignment="Right" 

instead of:

FlowDirection="RightToLeft"

I was having the same issue with related to StackPanel and Buttons.

Previous (not working way): NotWorkingScreenshot

Previous code:

<StackPanel Margin="2"
        FlowDirection="RightToLeft"
        Orientation="Horizontal">
<Button x:Name="buttonSaveFlipchart"
        Width="100"
        Margin="2"
        Click="buttonSaveFlipchart_Click"
        Content="{Binding Path=ButtonContentSave}"
        IsEnabled="{Binding ButtonEnabledSaveFlipchart}" />
<Button x:Name="buttonEditFlipchart"
        Margin="2"
        Click="buttonEditFlipchart_Click"
        Content="Muokkaa"
        IsEnabled="{Binding ButtonEnabledEditFlipchart}" />

New (working way): WorkingScreenshot

New code:

<StackPanel Margin="2"
        HorizontalAlignment="Right"
        Orientation="Horizontal">
<Button x:Name="buttonEditFlipchart"
        Margin="2"
        Click="buttonEditFlipchart_Click"
        Content="Muokkaa"
        IsEnabled="{Binding ButtonEnabledEditFlipchart}" />
<Button x:Name="buttonSaveFlipchart"
        Width="100"
        Margin="2"
        Click="buttonSaveFlipchart_Click"
        Content="{Binding Path=ButtonContentSave}"
        IsEnabled="{Binding ButtonEnabledSaveFlipchart}" />

So import were the changing of attribute FlowDirection to HorizontalAlignment.
