            Bug ID: 118215
           Summary: Bullet points do not respect the language written from
                    right to left in impress
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.0.4.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Impress
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: mahsank at cryptolab.net

Description:
I am trying to generate slides in Urdu language in LibreOffice Impress. Urdu is
written from right to left. If I want to generate a bullet point, it always
appears on the left side. The correct way for the bullet point to appear is on
the right side. For details, please see the screenshot at
https://ibb.co/cgteed.
Another related issue is that LibreOffice guesses the written language
incorrectly (please see the screenshot above), the actual language in which the
text is written is 'Urdu' but LibreOffice thinks the language is 'Hindi'.

Though, the bug appears in impress but I guess the behavior will be similar in
'writer' as well.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select a language that is written from right to left e.g. Urdu
2. Select a bullet point style
3. Start writing text, the bullet point starts moving towards left side, though
it should stay on the right side.

Actual Results:
The bullet point is displayed on the left side in a language written from right
to left

Expected Results:
The bullet point should be on the right side rather than on the left in a
language written from right to left


Reproducible: Always
