Description Eyal Rozenberg 2023-03-31 20:01:16 UTC
The toolbar buttons for promote and demote have arrows pointing due left (promote) and due right (demote) - indicating the direction in which the action is likely to move the paragraph text due to changes in indentation.

In Writer, these toolbar buttons have their icons flipped when the paragraph direction is RTL. But in Impress - they do not. Not sure why this wasn't fixed in both modules at once.

Note the bright blue rightwards arrow button on the top toolbar. The paragraph cannot go any further to the right, only due left. So, only the demote button is enabled :-(

Reproduced with the latest LO 7.5 dev master:

Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 8c3e219a831719ebb40dd2af8a26b0a24ad7aba1
CPU threads: 12; OS: Linux 5.19; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: CL threaded

Note that in different icon themes, the icons are different but the problem of the direction of the arrows is still visible. In "Elementary" icon theme, the problem is better visible as it only uses simple arrows.

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.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. 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. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
