Description Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2017-10-12 12:22:30 UTC
steps:
1. open writer with an rtl locale set (e.g. arabic or hebrew)
2. notice that the align right and right-to-left buttons are toggled in the formatting toolbar
3. insert a textbox (Insert > Textbox or click the textbox toolbar button)
4. notice that the align right button is toggled in the text object toolbar, but the left-to-right button is toggled for text direction

However: align left button is toggled in he text object toolbar, not align right button.
LTR button is toggled, same as reported in the Description.

This bug seems resolved, I have used a file in Hebrew (.odt) and when I created a textbox and then wrote inside, my text kept his LTR orientation:
