Description victor21 2009-02-23 05:58:00 UTC 
Steps:
1. Open a Spreadsheet in Arabic version.
2. Input "abcd" in a cell.
3. right click and select "Format Cells..." in pop-up menu.
4. Select "Alignment" tab in "Format Cells" dialog.
5. Input "30" in "Degrees" field in "Text orientation" section, then 
click "OK" button.

Problem: In step 5, the string preview in "Text orientation" is +30 degree
(right side is higher than left); However, after clicking "OK", the string in 
cell is -30 degree(right side is lower than left).

Hi:
I tried in OOo-dev 3.1.0, OOO310m2(Build 9385)for Arabic, which from 
<ftp://ftp.rz.tu-
bs.de/pub/mirror/OpenOffice.org/extended/developer/OOO310_m2/>, the problem 
still exists.
Comment 3 Rainer Bielefeld 2009-02-24 06:49:08 UTC 
I checked with "Ooo 3.0.1 (DE) Multilingual version GERMAN UI (CTL activated)
WIN XP: [OOO300m15 (Build 9379)]" and can confirm the reported effect.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open attached "sample.ods"
2. right click on sheet 1- tab and change "sheet right-to-left" and vice versa
   expected: text orientation should remain
   actual: orientation seems to be "mirrored" as if algebraic sign of 
           orientation angle changes with every sheet orientation modification

That seems to be wrong to me, but my bidi knowledge is too small to decide
whether we have a bug here.
