<pre>tl;dr: Agree that paragraphs shouldn't inherit from the page; but footnote
separators should.
(In reply to Mike Kaganski from <a href="show_bug.cgi?id=133818#c2">comment #2</a>)
<span class="quote">> It is strange to have text direction to depend on page settings</span >
But:
1. That's what we have in Calc.
2. The page is the superordinate object of the paragraph. Now, if pages didn't
have an RTL/LTR setting, you could say that it's the document that should be
superordinate (or the document section); but pages _do_ have directions. Still,
you do have a point.
3. It's already the case that you set the footnote separator direction via the
Page Style.

Why would this be sudden?

TBH, me neither, but I guess it should affect positioning of page-specific
objects or those that specifically refer back to the page direction.

A page style is a property of a paragraph? No, it isn't. If you change the page
style, the margins and size change on the page. Paragraphs don't affect that.

Yes.</pre>
