Bug ID: 147814
Summary: Tabs dialog shows Left, Right but they're really
Start, End
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.4.0.0 alpha0+ Master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: eyalr...@gmx.com
Blocks: 43808, 129661
The tabs dialog (e.g. Paragraph | Tabs on the menu) shows four kinds of tabs:
Left, Right, Centered and Decimal.
The "Left" and "Right" tabs are mis-named. When inserting a Left tab stop, in
an LTR paragraph the tabbed text will be left-aligned; but in an RTL paragraph
the text will be right-aligned.
In other words: These are 'Start' and 'End' tab stops. LO doesn't currently
support Left or Right tab stops. Please change the UI labels and the
documentation accordingly.
Note that this situation is the converse of what we have for paragraph
alignment! There, Left and Right are what's actually implemented, but Start and
End - aren't. I find that amusing somehow :-)
Anyway, this is all further motivation for why bug 131192 needs to be worked
on. We should have Left, Right, Start, End, Centered and Decimal as tab stop
types.
