Description safarzadeh.h 2013-10-30 08:22:09 UTC
Problem description: 
Page numbers which are automatically inserted by LibreOffice in footnote's continuation notice do not have correct direction in an RTL document.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Make an RTL document with more than 10 pages
2. Make a footnote, such as its continuation notice reference a page after 10.

Current behavior:

The page number is not in correct direction, for example, 21 instead of 12.


              
Operating System: Windows XP
Version: 4.1.2.3 release

Created attachment 88768 [details]
An example of the problem described...

There is footnote on page 13, which is continued on page 14. But in continuation notice of footnote, number '41' is inserted.
Comment 3 Jean-Baptiste Faure 2013-11-10 18:10:12 UTC
I installed B-Nazanin font from http://www.2-free.net/free-fonts/b-nazanin/38571.html
LibreOffice 4.1.4.0.0+ and the master show me a document with only 9 pages and the footnote on the page 9 does not continue on the next page.
I added several pages in your file and made the footnote longer. Now I reproduce the bug: the footnote contains the page number of the continuation page and this number is not in the correct direction, I get 41 instead of 14 (the footnote is on page 13). On the continuation page the page number 13 is correct.

Set status to NEW. 

Best regards. JBF

Comment 6 Gordo 2015-05-14 18:40:40 UTC
Reproducible.

The attachment had 11 pages for me.  I adjusted it to avoid page 11 because that is the same when read either way.

The second part of the footnote now has two numbers, one at the beginning and one at the end of the footnote.

LibreOffice crashed when I tried to edit the example document.
My attempt was to insert more text to enlarge the document to 13 pages.

I don’t see the issue that OP describes, there is 9 pages in the document and one footnote with the number 1. Adding more text to move the footnote to the next page crashes LibreOffice. People who are confirming this, can you please attach a screenshot of the issue?
