--- Comment #1 from ady <[email protected]> ---
The real problem starts with selecting an alignment that is different than
"left" (for LTR languages), and only then trying to set the indentation value.

In order to set an indent value, Calc (incorrectly) "requires" to first set the
alignment to left, then the indent value, and then modify the alignment to
something else (other than "left").

If you attempt to set the indent value while the alignment is not "left" (for
LTR languages), the indent field is grayed out.

STR:
1. New Calc.
2. [CTRL]+[1]
3. Alignment
4. The indent field is grayed out, unless the horizontal alignment field is set
to "left" (for LTR languages).

If you want an indentation value for a right-aligned cell (for LTR languages):
1. First change the alignment to "left".
2. Set the indent value.
3. Change the alignment (back) to right.

I am not saying this is correct. I am just saying that this is the workaround
that is working.


So, the fact that the procedure described on comment 0 fails (i.e. to apply the
indentation to the whole range at once, as expected) is only an extension of
the problem I just described.

In the same way, the workaround for this case is:
1. Set alignment to "left" (for LTR languages).
2. Increase indent.
3. Set alignment to "right".

This is a long-standing bug, so there is probably already some report about it
somewhere.
