Description Said Bakr 2018-02-23 12:51:34 UTC
Description:
When I am writing at text direction RTL in Writer and trying to apply predefined text style such as "Heading 3" The text direction is changed to LTR.

I Checked out the style settings from:
Styles menu > Edit Style... > Paragraph Style: Heading 3 box > Alignment Tab.

I found that Properties, Text Direction menu is set to "Use Superordinate Object Settings" so it should adopt the predominate text direction available but it does not do that and change the text direction to LTR.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Change text direction to RTL
2. Choose Heading 3 from text styles menu


Actual Results:  
You will see the text direction is turned into LTR

Expected Results:
Keeping the text direction as it is. i.e RTL


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Thank you for reporting the bug.
it seems you're using an old version of LibreOffice.
Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice
from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ?
I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to
'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version.
