I believe this is too simplistic, for several reasons: 1. You write "RTL" or "LTR", but - this is not always uniform. What if the cell is RTL and the sheet/page is LTR? Overflow outside the cell is, on one hand, part of the cell's contents; but on the other hand it is a multi-cell/sheet-level phenomenon. 2. Should the alignment really not affect the direction of extension? If your text extends in a certain direction _within_ the cell, why not have it extend in the same direction outside the cell, as well? 3. The cell edit mode is more of a UI element - like the cell contents line on the toolbar - than a part of the "final" sheet. With this being the case - what if the LO UI is RTL but the cell and sheet are LTR? Should not the UI direction be accounted for w.r.t. how text appears in cell edit mode? Like I said earlier, I haven't formed an opinion of my own on all this, but your single sentence doesn't answer these questions.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
