            Bug ID: 133818
           Summary: Paragraphs, footnote separator direction should
                    inherit from page style
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 3.3.0 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: eyalroz at technion.ac.il

Description:
In LibreOffice Writer, paragraphs and some other elements  can have their
direction set to one of: RTL, LTR, or "Use superordinate object settings" (i.e.
inherited).

The "superordinate object" for paragraphs on a page of a (simple) document is
_not_ the page (which itself can have a direction LTR or RTL), but rather
something else - likely, the entire document. 

It _should_ be the page that's the superordinate object for paragraphs (that
aren't in a frame, or table cell etc.) and for the footnote separator.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new document.
2. Type in some words into the document, to form more than one line, but not
two perfectly-full lines (i.e. leave space on the last line)
3. Insert a footnote.
4. Ensure the paragraph style is Default Paragraph Style
5. Modify the Default Paragraph Style, ensuring Text Direction is set to "Use
superordinate object settings"
6. Modify the Default Page Style and First Page styles, to have Text Direction
LTR
7. Observe the paragraph direction, and the positioning of the footnote
separator
8. Modify the Default Page Style and First Page styles, to have Text Direction
RTL
9. Observe the paragraph direction, and the positioning of the footnote
separator

Actual Results:
Paragraph direction does not change between RTL and LTR despite change in page
styles.
Footnote separator does not switch from right to left or vice-versa, despite
change in page styles.

Expected Results:
Paragraph direction changes between RTL and LTR.
Footnote separator changes from right to left and vice-versa.


Reproducible: Always
