            Bug ID: 162376
           Summary: [DOC] Left tab in RTL textbox imported as Right tab
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 3.5.3 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

Context-free description:

Consider the attached DOC file. It contains a shape with a single line of text:
some untabbed text, and some text after a tab. The shape paragraph direction is
RTL and the tab should be a Left tab at 13.25cm .

Unfortunately, when the document is opened in LO Writer, the tab is created as
a Right tab. That causes the text to overflow to a second line.

As tabulation in text boxes is typically intended to produce precise
positioning, such overflow is likely to interfere severely with the layout of
documents with such features, especially forms.

Now for some background:

This is the first of several bugs separating out the issuess we see in the
infamous DOC from in bug 50301.

The attached document is attachment 62050 with the following changes:

* All tables, text and images removed
* Everything on the second column removed
* All lines, shapes and frames removed - except for the top shape of
almost-whole-page width - removed
* Number of columns reduced to 1
* Page layout changed to portrait
* Added a bit of explanatory text
* Kept one of two tabs in the single remaining shape
* Replaced the text of that single shape with some English 
* Removed irrelevant styles and DF
* Changed the Normal style font to Liberation Sans
