This may sound rude to some readers; please don't take it like that, as it is
not my intention.

If anyone cares to actually carefully read those reports, all those
consequences were already foreseen and mentioned before, more than once.

The solution is to actually pay attention to what users are reporting.

The Row header and the worksheet tab have been "jumping" for too long. Some old
users might already be used to it and even might take advantage of it. But that
is because there was no better behavior for such a long time. So users shrug
and adapt (but are not happy with the situation).

So, in that regard, the solution *for the worksheet tab* is to provide 2
alternatives for users to choose from: A)leave the old "jumping" behavior, or
B)set the side according to UI locale (RTL or LTR).

And what about the Row header? Whichever the location of the first column
(Column A), the vertical Row header should always cross the horizontal Column
header on the "origin, zero". Whichever the side that "zero" would be.

The patch in comment 25 attempted to put the worksheet tab according to UI RTL
or UI LTR, but screwed up the Row header crossing point!

Hopefully this comment will be (carefully) read, with the same sincere and
thankful spirit I have when attempting to convey the problemS with these RTL
issues. Let's see if we can start over in BugĀ 157961.
