Description Eyal Rozenberg 2025-09-13 07:59:24 UTC 
Reproduction:

(1. Make sure the default paragraph styles in Writer document is LTR, perhaps by editing the Default template if necessary.
2. Make sure that full support for RTL languages is enabled.)

3. Create a new Calc document
4. On the menus: Insert > OLE Object > OLE Object...
5. Choose LibreOffice XX.Y Text
6. Type in some text in the framed Writer document: "Hello world"
7. In the framed Writer document, switch direction to RTL by pressing the toolbar

Expected results:
The area of the document visible in the frame is moved/scrolled/zoomed out so that the "Hello world" is visible, or - is set to begin with to be large enough so that no movement, scrolling, or zooming are necessary.

Actual results:
The "Hello world" text goes out of view, completely or almost completely. However - if you now type anything, the area shown by the frame _will_ be moved/scrolled to cover the entire start of the paragraph with the "Hello world" text.
