Hi. I test version 4.4.0.3 Bug still existing without fix.
I confirm it too. LO ver 4.4.4.3 on Linux and windows have the bug as yet. When I save .doc or .docx files in M$-Word and open them in the LO-Writer, direction of all styles and paragraphs are changed from RTL to LTR. This bug exists for a long time in the LO and has a very bad affect on the M$-Office users to encourage them migrate to the great LO in all of the RTL languages such as Persian, Arabic, Hebrew, and so on!
I test it on version 5.0.0.5 & still not fixed!!
Hi. I read that there will be a havy work on LibreOffice during May 2016: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2016/04/28/coming-up-the-month-of-libreoffice/ Please consider fixing this bug during this month because it is one of most aggresive bugs that prevent many Arabic users from using LibreOffice instead of Microsoft Office. Also, please change "importance" of this bug from "medium" to "high". It is a chronic long standing bug!
