Bug ID: 164495
Summary: Be more liberal with when carets get direction
indicators
Product: LibreOffice
Version: Inherited From OOo
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
LibreOffice sometimes presents a straight, symmetric caret, and sometimes -
adds a direction indicator, a small triangle at the top facing left or right. I
presume the triangle is intended to indicate the direction in which typing will
progress, or the direction of the previous character.
I believe the situations in which a direction indicator is presented should be
expanded. How far? Let me be maximalistic: The caret should indicate direction
whenever...
* full RTL support is enabled via LO's language settings.
* a document has content both in LTR and RTL directions.
* There set of "active" keyboard layouts (i.e. those that you iterate through
when switching keyboard layouts) included both an LTR and an RTL layout.
Some might be less maximalistic and only accept expansion in some of these
situations - that's a matter for more people to opine on.
Anyway, the above should also probably be expanded to consider CJK and vertical
writing models.
