<pre>Description:
I created a text box in Libreoffice impress and typed some content inside. and
then I tried to use the text alignment in the toolbox, and they did not work. I
tried the short keys ctrl+R and ctrl +e too.
I did some googling over the issue, what I found was related to openoffice,
which said I have to change the anchoring settings, so I did select the text
box > Right click > text... (context menu) and selected the text anchoring to
center. (screenshot attached). Then the text was centered,but again I could not
use the toolbar buttons to align it left, right or justify.
Also I checked the styles by right clicking > click styles > text tab (graphic
styles:default dialog box), and there I saw full width is enabled in the
anchoring options.
Another thing is that this is not applicable for layout-generated text boxes,
only applicable for the drawn text boxes using the text box tool.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.create a text box and type something inside.
2.select the textbox, and try to align the text to center, using the toolbar
buttons.
3.right click on textbox > go to text.. > (dialog box) set text anchoring to
center. Then the text will be centered.
4. try step 2 again, to align the text to left or right, using the toolbar
buttons, or short keys ( Ctrl + L or Ctrl + R) and they do not work
Actual Results:
eventhough the toolbar buttons will indicate the text is aligned, it does not
happen.
Expected Results:
The text should align to the directed sides, when clicking on the toolbar
buttons (center, left or right)
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
when we select the text box and click any of the alignment buttons, the text
inside the box should be aligned accordingly.
When we select the text box > rigt click > click text... > and change the
anchor to full width (click on check box), then all the alignment buttons work
successfully after that. But I checked the general settings for that, which is
found when right click > styles > text tab (graphic styles:default dialog box),
and the full width option is enabled by default.
Another thing is that this is not applicable for layout-generated text boxes,
only applicable for the drawn text boxes using the text box tool.</pre>
