--- Comment #3 from Jonathan Clark <[email protected]> --- Created attachment 203337 --> https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=203337&action=edit Example showing layout and paragraph direction interacting I'd also argue there is a problem with LO/ODF overloading a single attribute to refer to two different concepts. To make this even more interesting, consider the case of an RTL paragraph inside a vertical Asian document (example attached). I suspect it's rare in the real world, but it's a legitimate use case that is well-defined under ODF. In this case, the page writing mode is vertical right-to-left (tb-rl), and the paragraph writing mode is horizontal right-to-left (rl-tb). Even though the text is vertical on the page, it is stored in the ODF and shown in the user interface as "right-to-left", rather than something like "bottom-to-top". I agree something could be done in the UI side to clarify this situation, but I don't have any strong suggestions at the moment. I don't think it makes sense to tie paragraph direction to layout direction more than it already is, though. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
