The new page break control is really useful - thanks. But it's a bit problematic in RTL interface. At the moment the control and option box are both on the left (even on RTL interface). But the position on the options box results in some of the text being cut. I see two options: 1. Make sure the box will "start" in a position more to the right, so it would have enough space to spread left (all in RTL interface). 2. Have the page break control mirrored to the right for RTL interface, and start the box just bellow the control, this will leave it enough space to the left for the text. Attached are screen shots of the options box in LTR and RTL interface.

I can't reproduce the text cutting in the menu. Could you give some details how to reproduce it? Moving the button to the right is fine for me, but what about the case for book view?
In RTL UI, and maximized window, open a document and create a page break. Set zoom to "page width", and open the page break options box. With this zoom level, some of the text in the options box appear beyond screen borders. I'm restored the window size, and played a little with its location. It seems the the location of the options menu relatively to the page break marker is also affected from the window location on screen. This only happens in RTL interface. In LTR interface you need to more the application window to the right side, so most of the window will be out of sight, than the marker is close to the right border of the screen and the options box open is a different location relatively to the marker. For book view, the current behavior of the marker location should be kept (= marker on the right for a right page, marker on the left for a left page). The options box location problem is relevant for all 3 view modes - single, automatic and book.
Fixed in master (3.6): http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=f6b679e831ebf4a85b3baf37ea0198959f58fa1f This also fixes the position of other popup menus in RTL (like the one of the post-its button).
Cédric also pushed this fix into -3-5 branch => will be in 3.5 beta 2 http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?h=libreoffice-3-5&id=588857a86bcbc85e21b70ca95a9ab0c0b782a996
Verified the fix in 3.5.0 Beta2... thank you Cédric.
