<pre>This is a recent regression - I've been using OpenOffice and LibreOffice for
years and writing RTL documents a lot (in Hebrew) and haven't seen this bug
until a few weeks ago.
What I'm seeing is that in a mostly RTL document, with most (if not all) of its
paragraphs having right-to-left directionality, when I edit the document and
pass over paragraphs, "suddenly" a certain existing paragraph changes direction
and becomes LTR (and all the consequences this entails, like its last line
being aligned to the wrong end, etc.). I can easily fix this by changing the
paragraph's direction to RTL again - but later I will have the same problem on
another paragraph, and it's very annoying.
I am not exactly sure how to trigger this bug, although it is very reproducable
(I've seen in in multiple unrelated Hebrew documents I'm editing). I *think* it
has to do with selecting text with the mouse, although just selecting text
doesn't seem to consistently trigger this bug.</pre>
