As an RTL power user. LO is confusing enough for the average user to understand
how to set it up for his locale. Could you believe that I didn’t know, up until
now, the slide property you mentioned? If we talk accessibility- automatic
selection is a better way to go. Most users just want to open the software,
choose a template and have it corrected to his locale needs.
