            Bug ID: 128985
           Summary: FILESAVE, FILEOPEN: Style text directionss revert to
                    RTL on save and re-open
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.3.3.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Impress
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: eyalroz at technion.ac.il

Description:
If you save certain presentations, the text directions of many/most/all styles
is set to RTL rather than LTR (either when saving or when opening).



Steps to Reproduce:

Consider the attached presentation.

Its various styles are set to RTL direction (e.g. Outline, Title) - therefore,
when you open it in Impress, you see the Bullet to the right, rather than the
left, of the "hello world" text:

hello world *

rather than

* hello world

Now,

1. Change the Outline 1 style's direction to LTR:
   1.1 Open sidebar
   1.2 Switch to style sidebar
   1.3 Right-click "Outline 1"
   1.4 Select the Alignment Tab
   1.5 Change the Text Direction setting to LTR
   1.6 Click OK.
2. Save the presentation
3. Close the presentation
4. Open the presentation (with or without having exited LO altogether)


Actual Results:
The Outline 1 style has RTL direction again, and we see "hello world *".


Expected Results:
The Outline 1 style should have LTR direction again, and we should see "* hello
world".


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Additional Info:
I'm not sure under which conditions this happens. It may or may not have to do
with content originally imported from MS Powerpoint. But - this makes the
presentation unusable without having to set a bunch of directions every time
you open it.
