Question about fdo#45702 - UI: RTL Direction and Asian Text orientation buttons can not be hidden

[Manal M. Alhassoun]

Hello all,

I'm currently looking at bug #45702 (1).

I found out that the only way to show/hide "Text Direction From Left To Right" and "Text Direction From Top To Bottom" buttons is by
activating/deactivating "Enabled for Asian languages" option in the language settings.
And the same thing is for the "Right-To-Left" and "Left-To-Right" buttons , visibility/invisibility of these two buttons depends on
activating/deactivating "Enabled for complex text layout (CTL)" option.

Since LibreOffice intended to work this way, put these buttons on "Visible Buttons" and "Customize Toolbar" make no sense.

I'm wondering if we can solve this by just remove them from  "Visible Buttons" and "Customize Toolbar".

The reason that makes me ask this question is that this bug is exists since the OpenOffice (2).
and I'm sure that several solutions were proposed to deal with this bug since then and my suggested solution maybe
one of them.

So, should I go for this solution or it's not an appropriate?
