Or vice versa. How is "LTR machine" defined? Hebrew locale? Hebrew KDE settings? In any case, this should always be shown, even if the user decides for one reason or another to have any specific locale or KDE settings. For me, English locale, Hebrew KDE settings, I could not get the bidi to show no matter if I was creating an LTR or RTL document. > There is a known bug that this button doesn't appear on loading.  But if > your RTL paragraphs don't even right-align... thats odd. > In OOo-created documents, I must restate. > Would love to see a simple test doc to see whats going on. Thanks! There are three in the bug report. Thank you for taking an interest! This is an important deal-breaker for a large part of the world's population, and I was honestly worried that it might be written of as a "doesn't affect me" issue for the Koffice devs, an attitude that is sadly present in some other KDE projects (but is improving). -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il ____________________________________ koffice mailing list koffice@kde.org To unsubscribe please visit: https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/koffice
