Description Eyal Rozenberg 2023-12-03 17:11:54 UTC

Suppose I:

1. Have a table with LTR text direction, whose cells all have LTR direction, and with LTR text, in a page with LTR direction.
2. Select the table
3. On the menus, choose Table | AutoFormat Styles
4. Choose 'Academic'

The header row has cell contents aligned left.

Now, if I also:


5. Have a table with RTL text direction, whose cells all have RTL direction, and with RTL text, in a page with RTL direction.
6. Select the table
7. On the menus, choose Table | AutoFormat Styles
8. Choose 'Academic'

Expected behavior:
Header row has cell contents aligned right. (Well, to be honest, aligned _start_; see bug 131192.)

Actual behavior:
header row has cell contents aligned left.

This boils down to bug 49437 which made it necessary to create complete TS with all attributes. The same problem exists for the font where applying a TS will not follow the used PS but apply Liberation Serif (or Sans).
