Reproduction instruction: 1. Create a new Impress presentation 2. Add two paragraphs with text to the main textbox on the first slide (e.g. "LTR paragraph" and "RTL paragraph" respectively. 3. Switch the second paragraph's direction to RTL 4. Place cursor in the first paragraph, one character before the end. 5. Press the right arrow key. 6. Press the right arrow key. Expected results: The cursor should be - logically and visually - at the start of the second paragraph (i.e. on the right edge of its single line). This is what happens in Writer. Actual results: The cursor is on the left edge of the second paragraph's single line.
Created attachment 182828 [details] Presentation for easy reproduction of the bug In this presentation, just perform the cursor placement and movement from the first to the second paragraph.
Dear Eyal Rozenberg, To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. Please DO NOT Update the version field Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker) Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case) If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION.

Looks like an oversight. There is special logic in Edit Engine to correctly position the cursor when the home and end keys are pressed, but it's not applied when the cursor moves to the prev/next paragraphs.
