Create a new presentation, and select one of the textboxes on the default first slide you get. Now have a look at the "Properties" sidebar, under the "Paragraph" category. You'll notice that the alignment buttons - Left, Center, Right, Justify - are enabled; but the _direction_ buttons - LTR, RTL - are disabled. They should not be! At the moment, you can only use them if you double-click the textbox, entering edit mode. This is particularly problematic when you're selecting multiple objects, since you can never be in edit mode for more than one of them at a time! Notes: 1. You _can_ change the direction using Format | Paragraph. 2. The disabled direction buttons don't show the current object's direction, i.e. none of them will be pressed outside of edit mode. Should I file this as a separate bug?

Sorry, Stephane, for duping my own bug :-(
