To the contrary, I can see how that would bring more confusion. Currently, users just make the choice in the only place where it makes sense *at this moment*. Because the current implementation reflects the *file format* and *document model* - that locale is a property of character formatting. Well, the font tab is just something that we could change - fine; let's put it to Position or Borders tab ;) Jokes aside, this is not important on which tab the locale is set, since it wouldn't make sense anywhere on a *formatting* dialog without your proposal. But as soon as you suggest to move it elsewhere, as an "interim" measure, you break the visual link with character formatting, which still exists internally, but introduce such a link (invisibly) at any other place where you put the setting to. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
