Bug ID: 157961 Summary: Sheet tab selection area UI direction flipped based on sheet direction Product: LibreOffice Version: 7.6.0.3 release Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: medium Component: Calc Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org Reporter: eyalr...@gmx.com LibreOffice UI language (and direction) are set independently of the documents one works on in LO. Thus, if one has chosen an English UI for LO, then opens an Arabic ODT file in Writer, with RTL pages and Arabic text - the UI will remain in English, with the menu bar ordered LTR, the sidebar on the right side of the window, etc; nothing will be flipped to become RTL. This is true, in particular, for Calc... with one significant exception. The sheet tab area, below the sheet horizontal scrollbar, has the _UI_ direction set to RTL or LTR based on the current sheet direction. This is wrong and inconsistent. It also creates jarring effects when sheets in different directions are used in the same Calc document; and gives rise to complaints such as bug 100585 and bug 157784. Let us put an end to this silliness and keep the sheet tabs area in the same direction as the rest of the Calc UI. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
