            Bug ID: 119604
           Summary: RTL, TABLE: Text cannot be rotated in a RTL table in
                    LibreOffice Writer
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.4.6.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
Text can normally be rotated either 90 or 270 degrees through the Character >
Position dialog box. This works even in tables, but only if the table’s text
direction is set to Left-to-right. If the table’s text direction is set to
Right-to-left through the Table properties dialog, no rotation takes effect.
See the screenshot of a document, where there are two identical tables, one
marked as LTR and the other as RTL. Text is rotated as expected in the LTR
table, while nothing seems to happen in the other one.

This bug was first reported on Launchpad for LO 5.4.6.2 on Ubuntu 17.10 at:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1772445 . After my
initial report, I have upgraded to LO 6.0.3.2 and can still reproduce the
problem. Another user on Launchpad confirmed the bug on LO 6.0.3.2 and 6.1.0.3,
as well.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In Writer, create a table and write some text in it.
2. Select the text and rotate it by 90 degrees through the Character > Position
dialog box.
3. Change the directionality of the table to Right-to-Left through the Table
properties dialog.

Actual Results:
The text becomes horizontal, as it was before rotation.

Expected Results:
The text should be rotated by 90 degrees, as happens in a Left-to-Right table.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
