--- Comment #2 from Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #1) > Pretty clear what left/right means. That's _alignment_, not direction.

No, it shouldn't - unless the direction of the entire page is uniform. That is sometimes the case, and sometimes - not. When it isn't, it is typically Paragraph Styles which set another direction. (It may also be Drawing Object Styles, but we don't have those in Writer yet.) > Switching explicitly to LTR or RTL should not be required and > used much When you're writing documents involving text in both RTL and LTR languages, this is required for some of the styles. > and drawing an indicator in those rare cases does not justify the > effort, IMO. They are not rare at all. Middle-Easterners write a lot of English and some French, East-Asians write a lot of English, and Africans write a lot of French. And when doing that, documents often involve content in both directions. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
