The CTL/Asian stuff should have no effect on this. Yes. When using LibreOffice in RTL mode, I expect that the scrollbar goes to the opposite direction. export SAL_RTL_ENABLED=1 This is what is happening right now, and it is also what is done in MS Word. On the other hand, I think making this option always visible is useful. For example, I enabled this option, then disabled the Asian languages support. After that, the option was still active, but I had no way to understand and change this behavior. This is also the argument of the bug reporter to ask for making this option always visible, and I agree with him. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
