This usually means you didn’t set the paragraph direction and just aligned the paragraph to the right while leaving its direction LTR. No jumping would happen if the paragraph has RTL direction. It looks to me most of the directionality issues in this thread is coming from this confusion, but again paragraph direction and alignment are two different things. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Struggling-with-Hebrew-in-LO-tp4198211p4202306.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
