Description: Click at near the right margin of a page overwrites alignment next-to-it paragraph to right aligned. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Write a character or more 2. Click at near the right margin at the same height as that line of the paragraph you wrote that character in Actual Results: That paragraphs alignment is overwritten to right aligned. Expected Results: No alignment changes Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: I don't know if that is some sort of feature/bug. It could be some overly clever accelerator for alignment, but if its visibility and affordance is messed up and it is easy to trigger, e.g. when one wants to set the cursor at the end of a line. Version: 7.0.3.1 on Ubuntu 20.04 on Gnome ( using X-Server)

Thank you for reporting the bug.

I did do this, and it turns out that the bug is indeed a feature: For some reason my profile had "Direct Cursor Mode" turned on. (https://help.libreoffice.org/7.0/en-US/text/swriter/02/18130000.html?&DbPAR=WRITER&System=UNIX). I put this to resolved→invalid, although I might be worth checking if other users have the same issue.
