--- Comment #8 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
We discussed the topic in the design meeting.

The request is probably to bind the UI-only setting Sheet > RTL to the document
attribute Page Style > Text Direction (the superordinate setting of the text
direction in cells). This would not be a good solution.

What users expect is rather some kind of automatic detection whether the text
is LTR or RTL and the text direction to follow consequently. It makes not much
sense (but should still be possible) to run text from left for Arabic or Hebrew
and vice versa.

The issue has been reported before, and either this ticket is a duplicate or
wontfix in respect to the envisioned solution.

In all this situation the superordinate setting for cells taking the value from
the page setting seems buggy since switching from LTR to RTL has no effect.
