I would rather clarify the incorrect labels in the existing components. We obviously cannot change setLeft() - perhaps we should add explanation to the corresponding javadoc explaining RTL behavior. I would like to avoid making the same mistake going forward.</div>

<div class="PlainText" style="font-size: 11pt;">Yes, exactly. "Left" and "right" is used in several places in JavaFX<br>
(BorderPane, AnchorPane, Insets) to effectively mean "leading" and<br>
"trailing".<br>
HeaderBar is different, because it uses "left", "right", as well as<br>
"leading" and "trailing" with a different definition than the other<br>
controls (leading and trailing are RTL adjusted, while left and right<br>
are not).<br>
My proposal is to just accept that "left" and "right" are JavaFX<br>
terminology for RTL-adjusted leading and trailing areas.<br>
