Right-to-left (horizontal) text direction is selected for the page 1.1. File ->> new ->> Text Document. 1.2. Insert ->> Shape ->> Basic Shapes ->> Rectangle, and dragging the rectangle corner results in a colored rectangle with lines for its edges. I didn’t clicked in the rectangle area with the right mouse button to add text into it because I assumed that is not required for verifying this bug. 1.3. Right click the rectangle, Position and Size..., and pick the anchor "To page" there. Leaving everything else as is. This results in 9 small squares that mark the rectangle edges. Without any lines for its edges. And without the color the original rectangle had. Right click inside the rectangle to see what are the settings for Line... and Area… shows the previous settings are still there. A line for the rectangle edges, and a color for its area. 1.4. Left click the page outside the rectangle makes the rectangle disappear. 1.5. Left click again, this time inside the area where it was shows the small 9 squares that mark its edges. 2. Left-to-right (horizontal) text direction is selected for the page Bug is not present. I wonder if the problem is not rooted to the fact that Left-to-right (horizontal) is not exactly the same as no requirement for direction for the text is. That is, what native European users see as Left-to-right (horizontal) is not exactly as what RTL languages users see as Left-to-right (horizontal). And that what RTL languages users see as Left-to-right (horizontal) is not exactly the same as what Asian languages users see as Left-to-right (horizontal). > > 3.
