Since this never worked, adjusting earliest version.

Comment 6 Justin L 2022-06-24 14:55:49 UTC

repro 7.5+

This looks like an import issue. MS Word 2003 opens the round-tripped DOCX okay.

Comment 7 Justin L 2022-06-30 01:43:08 UTC

The table seems to be taking RTL status from the first cell's first paragraph.

Initial research points the cause to SwDoc::TextToTable.
