--- Comment #6 from ady <adylo811...@gmail.com> --- I believe that tdf#157784 comment 21 is related to this bug 157961 rather than solving bug 157784 (so tdf#157784 would not be really "fixed" ATM, IMHO). Bug 157784 shows why I mentioned requiring feedback before rushing any specific "solution". Please forgive my verbosity; this RTL UX/UI situation has been inadequate for too long, so it requires precision in its description. Please consider the following UI aspects related to RTL worksheets (whether standalone or in combination with LTR worksheets): * location of worksheet name tabs: on the right side or on the left side of the UI; this bug 157961 requests the location of these tabs to be related to the UI language: ** left-sided for LTR UI, independent of the RTL worksheet setting ** right-sided for RTL UI, independent of the RTL worksheet setting * order of appearance (from left-to-right, or from right-to-left, or a combination depending on RTL setting of the current worksheet) of new/added worksheet tabs; * what specific worksheet tab is to be considered the "next"? And which is to be considered the "prior" worksheet tab? The order should not vary (i.e. independent on UI settings or on RTL settings), but maybe the location (right-to-left or left-to-right) would/should depend on UI language. For this to be clear, screenshots (of the goal) for RTL and LTR settings and UI languages should be attached. * location and direction of column headers for RTL worksheets; * location of row headers for RTL worksheets. For RTL users, this item is probably more related to RTL worksheet settings, rather than to UI language interface. As of 2023-11-02 Build ID: c0c8cffd3541e3cd616c96791b04e7ebf2b2ed03 for Windows, the location of the row headers seems related to the worksheet tab location (instead of being related to the column headers direction from RTL), and I believe that most RTL users won't enjoy this UX too much. Considering bug 157784, there seems to be need for reasonable new default behavior / UX according to UI language, and (unfortunately) some way to modify the location/direction of these items; after so many years, there is simply no way to satisfy all RTL users with a single unified uniform location of these 3 items and their respective behaviors for RTL worksheets (alone or in combination with LTR worksheets). Comparing with other spreadsheet tools regarding RTL worksheets might be useful in order to obtain a reasonable UX. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
