Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 55132
Form controls missing Text Direction property
Last modified: 2010-10-31 17:19:44 UTC
Form controls do not have a Text Direction" property. There is no way to make form controls display text correctly for Right To Left (RTL) languages. I file this as a defect because OpenOffice supports RTL to a high degree, and this is one of the few missing bits. See related report "Form controls do not inherit Text Direction from page".
Reassigned to MSC.
eyalzvi, please provide steps, that demostarte this behavior.
I'm not sure how I can provide steps to reproduce behavior that doesn't exists, but anyway... 1. Open new document. 2. Set document direction to Right to Left. 3. Place form control on document. 4. Set control to show some text. 5. See that text is displayed Left to Right. 6. Check control's properties. 7. See that there is no property to set the directionality of the control. :-)
Hi, I reassign this enhancement to the User Experience team for evaluating. Bye Marc
According to http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=114236#desc11 this enhancement is already implemented in a released OOo version. @hennerdrewes or @fs: can you verify this?
Apparently this has already been fixed/implemented. I verified with v3.2.0, although not very thoroughly. I think the issue can be closed, and problems should be filed as new issues.
Yes, that's in fact supported since OOo 3.1 *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 30631 ***
-> closed
