The Unicode (TR#9) standard dictates that the paragraph direction be determined
by the first strongly directional character on the paragraph, unless an external
mechanism exists for determining the paragraph direction. Since OpenOffice has
the "RTL paragraph" and "LTR paragraph" buttons, the correct behavior is for
these buttons to be the sole source for the decision of what the paragraph
direction is.
In impress, if you work in bullet mode, the buttons do dictate whether the
bullet is displayed on the right or on the left of the presentation, but the
actual paragraph direction is determined by the first directional character,
with strange rendering while at it.
To reproduce - open a new presentation, open a new bullet, and hit the RTL
paragraph button. Next type an English word, followed by a dash and a Hebrew or
Arabic word.
Expected behavior:
WERBEH - english *
Actual behavior:
-WERBEH english *
Expected behavior if paragraph is English:
* english - WERBEH
Adding an RLM as the first character of the line makes the display as expected.
