Created attachment 119743 [details] broken alignment in the "can't right-align" text box Observed behaviour During preparation of a couple of master slides, I wasn't able to modify text alignment in a text box. More precisely, I could set alignment to center- or right-aligned, but the text would still be displayed left-aligned. Expected behaviour "Text" jumps to the center or right side of a text box when setting center- or right-alignment. Attached a sample document to illustrate the issue: go to View->Master->Slide Master, select the "can't right-align" text box and attempt to modify text alignment.

@Buovjaga Could you check with whatever version you have now? I'm still on the ancient 4.2.8.2, the version shipped with 14.04 LTS, so I wouldn't see the fix if it was applied to a non-ancient version.
I looked inside the styles.xml file after extracting the .odp (as zip). It had this style definition for the problematic text box: <style:style style:name="Mgr4" style:family="graphic" style:parent-style-name="standard" style:list-style-name="ML3"> <style:graphic-properties draw:stroke="none" svg:stroke-color="#000000" draw:fill="none" draw:fill-color="#ffffff" draw:textarea-horizontal-align="left" draw:auto-grow-height="true" draw:auto-grow-width="false" fo:min-height="0cm" fo:min-width="0cm" /> </style:style> When I changed the value of draw:textarea-horizontal-align to "right", the text alignment worked as expected. So I went about trying to achieve the same in the LibreOffice UI. I succeeded by: 1. Selecting the text box (not entering text edit mode) 2. Right-clicking and selecting Text 3. Changing Text anchor to be in the top right position After saving the changed file and unzipping again, I could see that draw:textarea-horizontal-align had indeed changed to "right" in the style! Well, it is still a problem that it does not work with simple paragraph formatting (as it does with new documents), but at least you have a workaround. Anyway, it is confirmed in the latest master. If you want a simple way to test newer versions, try the AppImage builds: http://libreoffice.soluzioniopen.com/ Arch Linux 64-bit, KDE Plasma 5 Version: 6.0.0.0.alpha1+ Build ID: d73225119476de1826f648acca9e93bf6797e813 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 4.13; UI render: default; VCL: kde4; Locale: fi-FI (fi_FI.UTF-8); Calc: group Built on November 12th 2017
Same with Lo 6.5+ but.. We don't have a cause here nor steps to reproduce and create the problem ODP. Master slide is not relevant, same is if copied to Normal slide. We have a workaround in Comment 7 or another: clear direct formatting on that frame. After that, align will work. This is Text Frame (as shown in status bar if selected). And I don't know how to add text frame at all in Impress. I'm inclined to close this bug. I'd just want to clarify on text frame.

I'm using 6.0.7.3 ATM and the bug is still present. I tried creating a new ODP presentation, created a new text field and could not change alignment. Also noticed a mistake in the Format->Align menu which showed two alignments selected at the same time (they should be mutually exclusive, will attach screenshot in a moment).

Can you retest? No problem in Version: 7.5.3.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 9f56dff12ba03b9acd7730a5a481eea045e468f3 CPU threads: 16; OS: Linux 5.19; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: ro-RO (ro_RO.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded

If you open attachment 119743 [details], go to View - Master Slide, focus inside the "can't right-align" text box and go to Format - Align Text, you will see "Right". That said, the document is somehow a unique problematic example and maybe it is not worth to keep this open (as Timur proposed in 2019).
Yes, sorry. Missed some details. I tried with right click - Paragraph: nothing works. Also with toolbar.
