Description: When using the tabbed (aka the Notebookbar) "Ribbon" style UI in Calc, the Right to Left and Left to Right text direction buttons are missing. They are present in writer and in the normal Toolbar view. All other modules have it working correctly (Writer, Impress, Draw) I have noticed it in 6.2.4.2 up until the latest 7.2 nightly build. In 7.2 the option to customize the Tabbed view was added and you can hide and show buttons in the Notebookbar. However, these buttons are missing from the list entirely. Keywords: UI, Missing, Button, RTL, Hebrew, Arabic, Eastern, Foreign Language, LTR, UX, Calc, Notebook bar, Tabbed view. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Switch to tabbed UI in calc in RTL supporting languages. 2. It's a UI bug, It's always there Actual Results: Missing Buttons Expected Results: There should be the buttons in the text aligning section Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes OpenGL enabled: Yes Additional Info: Show these buttons and have the ability to show/hide these buttons in calc while in tabbed view.

I confirm this with: Version: 7.0.3.1 Build ID: d7547858d014d4cf69878db179d326fc3483e082 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.2; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: he-IL (en_IL); UI: en-US Calc: threaded I see this as a symptom of the mis-feature that is the ribbon mode ("tabbed view"). It has seemingly not gotten a lot of attention in implementation considering the missing and oddly-placed buttons, of which this is a prominent example. And devoting this time may not be a sound investment of developer resources.
Reconfirmed with: Version: 7.4.0.0.alpha0+ / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 250e4886d85a7e131da76f181b3fa7be02d1a76d CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.10; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-IL (en_IL); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
