Bug ID: 173480
Summary: Writer: Shape position and horizontal coordinates
inverted (RTL mode) after saving as DOCX and reopening
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
When setting page style direction to Right-to-Left (RTL) in LibreOffice Writer,
inserting a shape on the right side of the page, saving the document as DOCX,
and then reopening it in Writer, the shape flips to the far-left side of the
page. Furthermore, attempting to move or drag the shape to the right causes it
to shift to the left instead (inverted relative coordinates issue).
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open LibreOffice Writer.
2. Set Page Style orientation / direction to Right-to-Left (RTL).
3. Insert a shape (e.g., Rectangle) and position it on the Right side of the
page.
4. Save the file in DOCX format.
5. Close and reopen the DOCX file in LibreOffice Writer.
6. Observe the shape position and try dragging it to the right.
Actual Results:
The shape appears on the far-left side. Moving it to the right manually moves
it in the opposite direction (to the left).
Expected Results:
The shape should maintain its original right-hand position and respond to
coordinate dragging in the correct direction.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
