QComboBox, RightToLeft layout direction, brackets - incorrect behaviour

[napajejenunedk0]

#include <QtGui/QApplication>
#include <QComboBox>
 
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);
 
    QComboBox cb;
    cb.setLayoutDirection( Qt::RightToLeft );
    cb.addItem( "Abc" );
    cb.addItem( "Abc (Abc)" );
    cb.addItem( "(Abc)" );
    cb.addItem( "(Abc) Abc" );
    cb.addItem( "()" );
    cb.addItem( "a (a) a" );
    cb.show();
 
    return a.exec();
}

#include <QtGui/QApplication>
#include <QComboBox>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);

    QComboBox cb;
    cb.setLayoutDirection( Qt::RightToLeft );
    cb.addItem( "Abc" );
    cb.addItem( "Abc (Abc)" );
    cb.addItem( "(Abc)" );
    cb.addItem( "(Abc) Abc" );
    cb.addItem( "()" );
    cb.addItem( "a (a) a" );
    cb.show();

    return a.exec();
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Create an empty Qt Gui application project and run the code above.
Note that if the braces are positioned in ends of the text (in a combobox item) the braces are somehow messed up.

Is this a QComboBox bug?

Searched the forum for a similar problem but found nothing.

its not a combobox bug, but a missusage of the feature.
You are using a left to right alphabet, which orders the symbols from left to right, but you are using a right to left ordering widget for displaying that text.
If you would use Hebrew or Arabic you would have a the brackets in the right order.
You probably what alignment, not text direction.
