If a document have different sheets with different directions, and you switched from a sheet to another, order of tabs will change badly. How to reproduce: 1. Open a new LO Calc document. 2. Make sure that Sheet1 is LTR. 3. Add new sheet (Sheet2). 4. Make it's direction as RTL. 5. Add new sheet (Sheet3). 6. Select sheet2 and notice tab ordering. 7. Select sheet1 and notice tab ordering. 8. Select sheet2 again and notice tab ordering. Ordered screenshot of steps: http://imgur.com/a/7p77o
So you get 2 - 3 - 1 and 2 - 1 - 3 at some point. I don't get that result. I wonder, if it is locale dependent?

Hi Safa - Usually when we can't reproduce with multiple QA members we close the bug as WFM because we're pretty confident it's an environment issue. For now I'm putting to NEEDINFO - if you could provide: 1) Your operating system; 2) A sample file with the tabs correct and then another save of the same document with the tabs messed up; 3) Your locale. Once you provide these please set the bug to UNCONFIRMED. Thanks!
Yes. Finally got LO working on my new installation! I made the test on both Windows 10 - 64 bits and ArchLinux - 64 bits, both latest version of LO. It seems that the problem is when the UI is mirrored (for a RTL language). I tried using the English layout with English & Arabic locales but the problem didn't occur.

Ah, now I managed to get the 2 - 3 - 1 and 2 - 1 - 3 orderings. I get them when launching with SAL_RTL_ENABLED=1 Note for testers: make a sheet RTL by right clicking its tab and selecting from context menu.

Welp, bisecting with Linux 44max essentially confirmed the previous comment. GTK3 is fine, btw.

*** Bug 157961 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
As described in bug 157961, this needs to be made consistent: "UI jumping" should be reduced. In my (non RTL-UI user) opinion, if it's only the sheet that is RTL, only the column headers should be flipped, as it's the only part of the UI that _has_ to flip to match the contents of the sheet. The rest of surrounding UI should not change. So the Sheet Tabs should do the same as e.g. the Formula Bar: its position and direction should not change. These should only be dependent on the RTL UI setting.
My 2 cents for improving the general LTR vs Sheet Tabs situation. What I imagine is best UX is: RTL UI: - Has sheet tabs to the right - Has sheet tab order RTL as well RTL sheet: - Does not influence the position of the sheet tabs - Does not influence the order of the sheet tabs - Only changes the location of column and row headers to make it easier to use cell coordinates in this layout (A further improvement in UX could be to have RTL UI make new sheets have RTL layout automatically (like local does currently) but I'm unsure if it is actually desirable, because you can have CTL off with RTL UI (whereas CTL is automatically on when a RTL locale is used). See bug 100584.)
This bug is about the order of sheets, not the UI. Forwarding Stephan's comments to 157961.
I agree, of course, that sheet directions should influence ordering of sheet tabs.
I would follow Eyal's suggestion in bug 157961 and make the tab position depending on the UI language (and close this ticket).
(In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #19) > I would follow Eyal's suggestion in bug 157961 and make the tab position > depending on the UI language (and close this ticket). No objection, let's do it. Making this one a duplicate though to keep track of the relation. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 157961 ***
