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

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

Ori, go to Page - Style - Page tab - Text direction. Should be right to left.
Eyal, in fact I think the user is correct. If I am a RTL user, the text I will write will be in a cell RTL, not LTR. So, I think this bug is reporting, in fact, that this option you have mentioned, should be already RTL for a RTL user interface. I will not mark the bug as New, because I am not an RTL user.
(In reply to BogdanB from comment #13) > Eyal, in fact I think the user is correct. I'm not having a factual disagreement with the reporter, so there is no question of correctness. However - it seems that the page style direction setting is _not_ the same as the sheet direction setting, so I've led Ori on a bit of a wild goose chase.
> If I am a RTL user, the text I will write will be in a cell RTL There is no such thing as an "RTL user". Users may: * Prefer an RTL-language UI * Sometimes use RTL content in documents (which themselves may also have LTR content and often do) > I think this bug is reporting, in fact, that this option you have mentioned, should be already RTL for a RTL user interface. And that's a mistake. Anyway, the UI direction does not, and should not, reflect on the contents of the document. May (perhaps even most) RTL language users use an LTR UI; does that mean they want LTR spreadsheets? Not necessarily. In my opinion, this should be resolved as INVALID. However, there is the question of setting the default direction...

Indeed, this would involve the application having to decide how to read an arbitrary pre-existing document. Which of course could be done for convenience (guessing based on fonts, etc), but such functionality should be optional, as it’s inevitably far from foolproof, and most users won’t need it at all. Perhaps as an add-on? > However, there is the question of setting the default direction... Text direction sounds like something that should be controlled via _text style_ property. So, let those interested add a feature request for this. Makes sense. Once the feature itself is implemented, the solution for newly created documents will be straightforward: the correct place to set text style properties would be Default style in the relevant New Document template.
