------- Additional comments from [email protected] Sat Oct 24 16:24:00 +0000 2009 ------- This is hard to explain so bear with me. I'm a new user to openoffice. I just tried pasting a simple table i copy paste from the internet, i'll try to mimic how it looks here: Monday----Sunday----Time ClassB----ClassA----08-09 ClassB----ClassA----09-10 ClassB----ClassC----10-11 The --- represent spaces. The table was in hebrew (which is an RTL language) and thats why it starts from the right side. Anyway i opened Calc. If i just paste it while calc is in the Default LTR mode then the table get pasted just as it is (again, i'm trying to show how it looked like in Calc): -------A---------B---------C-- -01--Monday----Sunday----Time- -02--ClassB----ClassA----08-09 -03--ClassB----ClassA----09-10 -04--ClassB----ClassC----10-11 However i want to use an RTL sheet when i work in Hebrew, so i deleted everything and found how to change the sheet to RTL (that was easy enough). Then when i tried pasting the table the result was as follows: -C--------B---------A--------- Time----Sunday----Monday--01-- 08-09---ClassA----ClassB--02-- 09-10---ClassA----ClassB--03-- 10-11---ClassC----ClassB--04-- This is the expected behavior IF i would change the sheet when the data was already there, but if i first change the sheet to RTL and then paste, i cannot understand why the data is getting flipped?!? If someone pastes something into an RTL sheet it is, 90% of the time, will be from an RTL source - meaning there is no reason to flip the information! I know that when you look at the last sheet i just made it seems weird it would be an annoying thing, but having the data arrange like that in Hebrew looks as weird to me as the first table i made (in the beginning of my bug report) looks funny to you because it's in english. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
