Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Set this on a WindowedApplication or Application:
layoutDirection.state1="rtl"
2. Add a Button with a label and some code to toggle direction and layoutDirection.
3. Run.

Result 1: At first, the letters are reversed. This should never happen.

5. Click the button to toggle direction and layoutDirection.

Result 2: The layoutDirection and direction styles are "rtl", but the controls are still on the left. They should be on the right.

6. Click the button again. Now the styles return to "ltr", text appears correctly, and further toggling of the properties will work fine.

Workaround (if any):
