Bug ID: 165850
Summary: Line numbering with RTL numbering schemes laid out in
wrong glyph order
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 25.8.0.0 alpha0+
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]

When numbering using Hebrew or Arabic letters, the number is made up of several
glyphs, in a certain visual order. For example, 11 using Hebrew letter
numbering is יא (or actually י"א, but we don't support adding apostrophes). The
YOD is on the right, which is also the start, then comes the ALEPH, on the
left.
However, when used in line numbering - the letter order is reversed: We see the
YOD on the left, and the ALEPH on the right: אי .
Note that this is _not_ wrong alignment of the number, and _not_ a wrong choice
of direction of the stretch of text, since neither alignment nor direction
settings affect the order of glyphs within a run of strong-direction glyphs.
Apparently there is some kind of idiosyncratic layout logic for digits in line
numbering, which assumes glyphs are strongly-LTR-directed - which they aren't
always.
