Looks fine to me in 4.2.4 on Debian Linux, see screenshot.
The chapter number in the left and the number of table in the right. It should be the opposite. Created attachment 100152 [details]

I don't agree with you about this, when both characters are numbers, they should be from left to right. This is also the way numbers are written in both Hebrew and Arabic.
When one of the characters isn't a number (e.g. a letter), then, and only then it appears to be affected by the paragraph directionality. This is what happens in LibO 4.2 and regardless if the letter is in RTL or LTR language, only the paragraph directionality applies.
A workaround can be by an option to make LibreOffice reverse the rendering of the numbers. I mean instead of adding 1 then 2, It adds 2 then 1. It's must be an option in everything use placeholders, The numbering lists also. |

Created attachment 92593 [details] An .odt file contains valid captions and non valid ones. Numbers are shown from left to right in "Number range" variable when used in RTL scripts. This happens when Number range variable is used in table captions (for example) in Arabic script. For example: The table caption should be something like this: الجدول 3-1: وظيفة الجدول where "3" is the chapter number; And "1" is the table number; But, because of this bug, The caption will be something like this: الجدول 1-3: وظيفة الجدول I have included a simple .odt file contain a valid caption written manually (first), and a caption contain Number range variable.
