Bug ID: 103751
Summary: RTL outline numbering not working as expected...
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.2.2.2 release
Hardware: x86 (IA32)
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
I need to number chapters and subheadings in chapters in my thesis in a
right-to-left language (Persian). The outline numbering works as expected in
LTR but when I switch the text direction, the order of heading numbers will not
change. For example, 1.2.3 in LTR would refer to subheading 3 of subheading 2
of chapter one. In RTL I expect it to show on the right side of the page in
the reversed order, ie., ۳.۲.۱.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. define outline numberings for heading 1, heading 2, etc.
2. modify heading styles text direction to RTL
3. apply the styles to the heading titles
Actual Results:
outline numberings appeared in the wrong direction.
Expected Results:
in RTL language chapter number should appear on the right side, then outline
number for heading 2, the heading 3, etc.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes, many times.
Additional Info:
Just that this is very urgent. If this cannot be resolved soon, I may have to
switch to MS Office which I have resisted many years. Or I will have to enter
outline numberings manually.
I have searched for this problem. Some people had mentioned the same issue in
other places since maybe 2012 and some had suggested that this cannot be solved
and a bug report/feature request must be filed. I was unable to solve it too
and did not find a bug filed for it, and hence the report.
