Description Eyal Rozenberg 2023-06-17 07:51:47 UTC 
Created attachment 187956 [details]
Pilcrow placement before and after page style direction change

Reproduction: Enable formatting marks display, then follow the same instructions in 

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=135350#c3

(in a nutshell: Switch a new LTR-pages document's default page style to be RTL)

Expected result:

End-of-paragraph pilcrow appears at left edge of text area, inside the text area.

Actual result:

End-of-paragraph pilcrow appears at right edge of text area, outside the text area.

(Also, the buggy behavior in 135350.)

Comment 1 Eyal Rozenberg 2023-06-17 07:55:56 UTC 
Notes:

* This happens both if you change the direction via Format | Page Style or by editing the default page style.

* If you force the paragraph direction to LTR (like it should have anyway) then  to RTL, the pilcrow appears within the text area.
