Bug ID: 164492
Summary: Caret direction-indicator does not respect keyboard
layout
Product: LibreOffice

Document with English & Arabic for moving the caret around
The caret in Libreoffice sometimes (but not always) presents with a direction
indicator.
Now, suppose I:
1. Set the paragraph direction to LTR
2. Type the text "abضcd" (i.e. type a, then b, then Arabic Dad ض, then c, then
d)
3. Move back two characters, so that I am past the ض but before the c; the
caret is now to the left of the ض, and shows a direction indicator.
4. Switch the keyboard layout back and forth between an LTR layout and an RTL
layout (e.g. English and Arabic)
Expected results:
The caret direction indicator switches back and forth from pointing left to
pointing right (or from pointing left to not appearing, with the caret being
straight and symmetric).
Actual results:
The caret direction indicator remains pointing due left regardless of the
keyboard layout change.
The direction indicator should point in "the direction in which you're typing",
which in our case is due left of the ض after step (3.), but changes back and
forth in step (4.) .
The attached document has text from step (2.), both in the body and in a
textbox.
