Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 114235
In CTL context "last line" option in papragraph dialog should also be named "right" not "left"
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:22:35 UTC
In paragraph alignment, when choosing justified, the last line options says it could only be aligned to the left. "left" should be "according to paragraph direction". In RTL paragraphs the last line is aligned to the right, although the options says "left". Also, the preview also showed left alignment even for RTL paragraphs. When the UI is from right to left, the alignment showed in preview is always to the right, even for LTR paragraphs. See #114234 This issue is still found in 3.3 beta (OOO330m3).
Created attachment 71511 [details] LTR UI with RTL paragraph
Created attachment 71512 [details] RTL UI with right aligned preview
MRU->OS: in RTL paragraphs the "last line" option of justified paragraphs should be named "right" instead of "left". Also the preview picture has to be adapted to this.
@MRU, another option is changing the original string from 'left' to something like 'according to text direction', then it will be correct for both RTL & LTR UI.
As already on the Indents&Spacing page the text should read something like 'start alignment' and 'end alignment'. The dialog does not necessarily know the current text direction as it could be working on a selection of different paragraphs or even on a paragraph style. For the preview the same conditions apply so it makes sense to leave it unchanged.
