RTL field in Word 2019

Description:
Open attachment 182846 [details] from tdf#151364 which is a DOCX file containing fields that can be changed using the dropdown menu. For the RTL fields, the down arrows should fall on the left.

Steps to Reproduce:
1- Open DOCX attachment
2- Click on a gray field in page 1

Actual Results:
The down arrow for dropdown content control for RTL fields are shown on the right, just like LTR fields

Expected Results:
The down arrow should fall on the left, as it is in MS Word.

Please note that this is not per-document, and it is per-field. If you go to the last page of the same file in MS Word, you will see that for the LTR fields, the down arrow falls on the right.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Reproducible on the latest LO 7.5 dev master, after tdf#151364 is fixed by Milkos: f726fbc2699b05199a8dec3055710a7131e0aad6
