            Bug ID: 126829
           Summary: Able to apply an indent for right justified values in
                    cell, even though indent not selectable.
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: themountinman at gmail.com

Currently, when setting alignment in a cell, the indent box is not selectable
when Horizontal alignment is set to 'Right' (Why?)

However, this can be circumvented using the following steps:
1. Select a cell.
2. Select Format -> Cells menu option.
3. Select Alignment tab.
4. Select 'Left' for Horizontal alignment.
5. Select a non-zero indent (e.g. 10 pt).
6. Click Ok.

Contents of cell are now left justified with an indent of 10 pts.

7. Select same cell.
8. Select Format -> Cells menu option.
9. Select Alignment tab.
10. Select 'Right' for Horizontal alignment (indent box becomes non-selectable
but RETAINS non-zero indent value).
11. Click Ok.

Contents of cell are new right justified with an indent of 10 pts.

Personally, I like this. I've never understood why we are prohibited from
setting a right alignment indent, since no indent often has numerical data
crammed right up against the border. I would recommend you stop making the
indent box unselectable when right horizontal alignment is selected.

If, however, you intended for right aligned text to never be indented, you
should fix the behavior above (i.e. when horizontal alignment is changed from
left to right, zero out the indent).
