That's possible, but... I was silently assuming horizontal-LTR paragraph direction in this bug report. Which indeed I shouldn't :-) but my example is about paragraphs which are all horizontal-LTR. > "the paragraph-mark to appear at the place where the next character would > appear" expectation must only apply to the *caret* - paragraph mark has > nothing to do with this expectation. Is that an actual design decision, or are you explaining your intuition? If it's the former, can you post a relevant link? > Paragraph mark indicates *the direction > at which the next paragraph would appear* if you decide to create one. And > the horizontal position (and correct upright glyph orientation, which is > absent now!) of the mark indicates that: your next paragraph will appear > below this paragraph, as in other "normal" horizontal paragraphs, no matter > what *character rotation* it uses. Ah, you bring up an interesting point: The _position_ of the mark vs the orientation, or rotation, of the mark. I disagree. I see the paragraph mark as a "shadow" extra character in the paragraph. I do not expect it to indicate what you suggest. > Now compare that to e.g. paragraphs in table cells, where you can set > vertical orientation by modifying table cell's text orientation on Text Flow > properties tab. That changes the position and the rotation of the paragraph > mark, correctly. But that also agrees with my intuition regarding the p-mark. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
