Pages, frames, etc. with text direction set to vertical have badly broken rendering on master. The text isn't legible at all. (4.3.0.4 gets this right) Steps to reproduce: 1. Open a new Writer document 2. In Format - Page - Page, set "Text direction" to "Right-to-left (vertical)" 3. Type any text See following attachments for an example It's possible this is OSX only. Could someone with Linux/Windows and a recent build from git please confirm?
Created attachment 104897 [details] Example rendered on 4.3.0.4 (correct)

Hi, Thanks for the sample. Not reproduced with LO 4.3.0.4 and LO 4.4.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: eddd7646d672ea9b0561dacb09da224d098e531e TinderBox: Win-x86@39, Branch:master, Time: 2014-07-18_06:42:50 under Windows 7 Home Premium. Jacques
So this is looking like OSX only as I initially suspected. Thanks for the (non) reproductions
Although the attached document can be used to reproduce, I apparently left out a necessary step for manually creating vertical text in the first comment The "Text direction" option in "Format - Page - Page" is only shown if the global setting "Default Languages for Documents - Asian" is ticked within "Options - Language Settings - Languages"
