            Bug ID: 138862
           Summary: Calc sheet cells keep direction despite sheet
                    direction switch
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.3.1 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
The default cell style has the cell direction follow the superordinate object's
direction. This is fine and good. However, when one switches a sheet's
direction using the menus (toggling Sheet | Right-To-Left) - the cells keep the
same direction as before. 

This is a bug in the sense that the user rightly expects the superordinate
object of cells to be the sheet, which has just been switched. And, in fact, a
switching of the sheet direction is all that should be needed for cells'
direction to become appropriate for the new sheet direction (rather than
requiring any further action).

What seems to be happening that cells' superordinate object is a _page_. I
intend to open a separate bug about this fact, but: Either this needs to
change, or the page style must change for the current sheet when one toggles
"Sheet Left to Right", so that the cells switch direction as well.




Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create new workbook
2. Highlight an arbitrary cell and check its direction
3. On the menus, toggle Sheet | Left-to-Right
4. Highlight another cell, then come back to the cell you highlighted in (2.)
5. Check the highlighted cell's direction

Actual Results:
The direction remains the same between 2 and 5.

Expected Results:
The direction switches between 2 and 5.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
I'm pretty sure this bug goes way back.
