You explain the result but not the conditions
You explain the result (well you made nice arrows on the picture), but you really say nothing about the air selections/settings. Please provide a few specific details. I sure someone here can help.

does air come out if you press the red or blue buttons? if not - then the main flap actuator has gone - or the vacuum pipe to it - they all terminate in a block in the passenger footwell...

Ya it sound like a vac leak or bad flap. Vac more likely the problem.

Nope.Nothing works even when pressing whatever button.During night time the air con can't be switch on because if it was on, mists cover the whole window since the air goes directly to the window!

So how long do u think it will take for the dealers to get this problem fix?Our family have only 2 good reliable cars and if it stays at the dealer for days!!then there will be a problem for us

Look at this article. Read the whole.
My best bet is to do the diagnose of the individual
flaps.
