Description

Hi,

When setting the FlowDirection to RightToLeft the Text in the SearchBar is still Aligned to the Left.

The only workaround for this is to set the HorizontalTextAlignment to End

Thanks, Jassim

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the FlowDirection property handling in SearchBar and check how it interacts with HorizontalTextAlignment. Look at the source code for SearchBar in Xamarin.Forms and trace the rendering path for iOS, Android, and UWP to see where FlowDirection is not being applied.
