Created attachment 77466 [details] arrow examples When writing "->" in writer the signs are translated into an arrow icon. This translation is done without taking the text/paragraph directionality into consideration. So it's possible to have an -> arrow in a text which is RTL. Input (please type, don't copy/paste as it won't translate the arrow): אחד -> שתיים actual output אחד → שתיים wanted output: אחד ← שתיים See also the attached example document.
AFAIK arrows are not supposed to be mirrored automatically.
@Lior I think you should set two separate autocorrect replacement: one for -> to → and another one for <- to ← does this solves your problem?
Still happens in: Version: 5.4.2.2.0+ Build ID: 1:5.4.2-3~bpo9+1 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 4.9; UI render: default; VCL: gtk2; Locale: en-US (en_US.utf8); Calc: group OS: Debian 64bit Stretch (Debian 9.2, with some backported packages)
Bug still manifests with: Version: 6.1.1.2 Build ID: 5d19a1bfa650b796764388cd8b33a5af1f5baa1b CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk2; Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); Calc: group threaded
Still manifests with: Version: 6.4.0.3 Build ID: b0a288ab3d2d4774cb44b62f04d5d28733ac6df8 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.2; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; Locale: he-IL (en_IL); UI-Language: en-US Also, this is not an enhancement request - it's a bug. When I type -> and press F3, I do _not_ expect to get an arrow that looks like <- . It's a design bug rather than an implementation bug.
Dear Lior Kaplan, To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year. There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. Please DO NOT Update the version field Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker) Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case) If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ 2. Test your bug 3. Leave a comment with your results. 4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo'; 4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!
