If you'll open a new one from the desktop shortcut it will open in Hebrew writing mode (right to left) but if you'll open a new one from the mouse right click menu. it will open in English writing mode (left to right

I received an email regarding the bugs I added, but I do not know exactly what I am supposed to do. You did not write any questions so what exactly do you need from me?

Can't reproduce this with:

Version: 7.1.0.3 / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: f6099ecf3d29644b5008cc8f48f42f4a40986e4c
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.9; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: he-IL (en_IL); UI: he-IL

What is the direction setting of the Default page style? Can you check? Perhaps that's the problem.

I do not understand what you mean when you say "what is the direction settings"

Notice:
The problem is happening only when you open new Clac from the Desktop Right Mouse click's menu

On the menu, choose "Format | Page...". Then please tell me what's the selected value for the "Text Direction" setting.

I'm sorry but i couldn't find any "Format" option on the menu bar if we talking on the same thing

If you can show me the specific menu you are talking about in the picture I can check it. but so far in the CALC I have not found any "format" option not in english nor in hebrew

OK By your name I assume you understand Hebrew then they translate the "Format" wrongly in the hebrew version. it is set as "עיצוב" Meaning "Design" (for those that do not understand hebrew)

Ok now what do you want me to check on that "Format > Page"
