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.
