--- Comment #21 from Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> ---
Agree with Jonathan, and Heiko, and marking NAB. However (and perhaps to soften
the blow):

1. In ODF documents, a (paragraph) style is not required to set all possible
properties. It is possible to define a style with no direction (technically: no
`style:writing-mode` proper; and it may also set the direction to 'inherit'
from the superordinate object. While LibreOffice doesn't have UI for unsetting
a style's direction, it could and should; and we do have UI for setting
"inherit". So, if you edit your styles not to apply direction - then they
won't, and your DF will work.

2. A bug is already on file regarding auto-detecting text direction: bug
162120. While that would not solve every use-case - it does make it easier to
simply _not_ have to set the style explicitly yourself and for it to have a
reasonable default via autodetection.

3. We are planning a discussion of text direction - extrinsic vs intrinsic, and
these different bugs, next week on October 8th in the LibreOffice design
meeting. You may be interested in attending that via jitsi:
