Suppose you open a plain text file with only LTR text, e.g. the following single line: The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. ... naturally, you expect the file to be opened in LTR direction. But - the direction is set according to the locale. If you use an LTR locale you'll get an LTR direction, even if the file has not a single char of RTL text.

If I understand this sentence correct, I don't see a problem here, or do you mean "even if the file has not a single char of LTR text"? => NEEDINFO
I mistyped. Let me rephrase: Suppose you open a plain text file with only LTR text; naturally, you expect the file to be opened in LTR direction. But if you set an RTL locale in LibreOffice, the file will be opened with an RTL direction, even if it has not a single character of RTL text.
