how the page numbering looks after scrolling to page 2

When in the arabic UI, when i open up a document 'page 1 / X' is right aligned as it should be, but if i scroll down to page 2, it becomes left aligned. A work around is to press alt+tab twice, which bring it back to right aligned, but if i scroll to another page, it goes back to left aligned.

Steps:
1) Change to Arabic UI
2) Open Writer
3) Press Ctrl+Enter to make a second page
4) Look at statusbar page numbering, it is left aligned

Tested in 4.2.6, 4.3.2 and master in Linux and Windows.

I see it happening in 4.3.6.2 portable.

Is it still happening in newer versions?

Tested it on Windows is master and it seems fine. 5.1alpha1 2015-05-30 @62

Issue is still present and now happens on all fields in the status bar on Windows and Linux.

When testing on:

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)

using Hebrew UI:


The "page 1 from 1" is left aligned even before entering any page break.
Also "0 words, 0 characters" and "default style" (the first three fields form the right side). (the text messages actually appear in Hebrew)

The "Alt+Tab" trick to right align the status line fields does not fix the alignment of those fields, because my desktop (Xfce4) intercepts it.

Everything seems worse in the status bar in RTL.
