It can't be done with Clear > DF, nor can it be done with a style switch. How do you clear the text you inserted in a paragraph? Direction is not formatting (even vertical text, e.g. Mongolian mist be vertical LTR, there is no horizontal Mongolian text), but you are fixated on the idea that direction is formatting. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
