In Impress, dragging the edge of a table works fine with LTR. But, when we change the table into RTL, the dragging not works properly. When we drag the edge of a column(say column x's Right edge), it resizes the column(x+1). To Reproduce: Open Impress document -> Create table -> select the whole table -> Right click -> Edit Style -> Select Alignment Tab -> Change Text Direction to "Right to left" -> Drag the edge Now, we can see the width of the next column(x+1) is changed not the current one(x). Note: For better understanding, I attached the screenshots of the problem. Am using Libreoffice Version 3.6.3.2 (Build ID: 58f22d5), Ubuntu Release 12.04 (precise) 32-bit.
I am working on this bug.
Someone confirm this bug..
Created attachment 73811 [details] While dragging the 2nd vertical edge(first column's right edge) towards right side, it resizes the 2nd column instead of first column While dragging the 2nd vertical edge(first column's right edge) towards right side, it resizes the 2nd column instead of first column
The bug is confirmed in 3.6.5.2, but I think there's a version of it also with LTR talbes. Steps: 1. Set page to LTR 2. Insert a table with a few columns. 3. The left border of the table can't be changed. 4. Moving the border between the left most column and one next to it on the right, will move all the cells to that direction (resizing the whole table). 5. The previous step don't happen with the next pair of cells or with the last pair.
Submitted a patch(https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/1979/) that resolves the reported bug and resizing of the whole table while dragging(Thanks @Lior Kaplan for reporting this :-) ). For time being "dragging of left border" put into TODO.
