Description ammine007 2011-04-30 06:05:43 UTC 
Salam,

I try to use LibO as a CRUD application and i'm using both languages Arabic and English for my Data.

When designing a form in LibO under Linux/Ubuntu, when i choose the control text direction for the text control, it handles pretty well the  RTL language.

Doing the same form design under WinXP. it always displays text from Left to Right weither you choose RTL or LTR text direction for the text control.

I think it's a bug.


Thank you and good luck to you all !

I am not able to reproduce this with LO-3.4.0-beta4. You could get it at
http://www.libreoffice.org/download/pre-releases/

ammine007, could you please try LO-3.4.0?

If you still see the bug, please provide step by step instructions how to reproduce this bug e.g.

1. open new document in Writer
2. select in menu View/Toolbars/Form Design
...

Result:

Expected Result:


Anyway, the scenario looks pretty complex. It does not affect that many users => it should not block the release => lowering severity
