Hi,

I posted a very similar quest awhile back and got no responses so am 
trying once more.

XP Pro SP2+; OOo 2.4, English language, U.S.

Imtermittantly, the left alignment of text jumps to right-aligned.  In 
other words, all the text lines up on the right hand side of the 
document instead of the left side as expected.
   It's easy enough to fix; just click the left-align menu item to put 
things back, but it gets to be quite an annoyance.

Is this a recognized issue with OOo 2.4, or could it somehow be somthing 
I've done with the settings?

Description:
   It happens mostly when using the Delete key.  e.g., take a document 
where each line ends with a paragraph mark.  The usual "fix" is to 
remove the paragraph mark at the end of all but the last line of the 
paragraph.  Added to that, you also have to add a space so that the 
words on either side remain separated by a space.
   So, going through the document and typing Delete|space or 
space"Delete is the manual method of doing this.  Every now and then, 
typing the Delete and space entry results in the alignment going to 
right-align.
   It doesn't happen with every line, usually only once per several line 
paragraph, and very occasionally it doesn't happen at all.  It almost 
always happens at least once per paragraph though where suddenly the 
so-far modified paragraph lines jump to become right-aligned.

Initially I had used a macro to accomplish this, as I used do in Word. A 
new macro, freshly written in OOo.    But I ended up with a pretty 
strange looking document with the right alignment all over the place, so 
turned to manually editing to figure out what was happening.
   It never seems to happen when the space|delete is done on a short 
line.  It seems to always be when the cursor is near the far right side 
of the display.

Has anyone else come across anything like this, or know whether it's a 
recognized/submitted bug?  I'm not jumping to report it just in case 
it's something I've done to the setup or no one else is seeing hte 
problem.

Any comments/questions/clarifications gladly responded to.
I could probably create before/after screen shots/file that displays the 
issue, if it'd help anyone but if I've made myself understood I don't 
think it's necessary.  It should be easy to duplicate by most any editor 
that places cr/lf at the end of each line.

TIA,

Twayne
