Paragraph direction and text direction are different (but related) things. The
paragraph direction is set manually (Writer will try to be smart and use
appropriate default), but the text direction is automatic. OP screenshot shows
LTR text direction and I think that is the issue being reported here, but I
can’t reproduce it.

Queststion to the OP, are you using TDF or distro builds of LibreOffice, if the
later that what is the version of ICU you have and can you try with TDF builds?

Not sure what you are saying here. Text direction is language independent, it
is controlled by fixed character properties provided by Unicode.
