Tested on PowerBook 10.3 running NeoOffice J/1.1
This issue relies on the right to left paragraph alignment option that we were
only able to find in
NeoOffice J/1.1, this may not be
Steps to reproduce
1.) Create a new presentation
2.) Type a word like main
3.) Then add any of the following punctuation marks [EMAIL
PROTECTED]&*()_-+={}[]|\;:’”<>,.?/”
NOTE: marks are on the right of the word
4.) Right click on the text area and select Paragraph (or click
Format->Paragraph) select the
alignment tab and change the properties from left to right to right to left
5.) At this point the punctuation marks should be placed on the left side
of the word main
However, punctuation can be placed to the right of the word if you move the
cursor to the last character
(farthest to the left) and type the punctuation it will appear on the right
side of the word main. Now this
functionality may not be a bug but is very confusing from an interface standard
since it is possible to
scroll to the left and then end up in the right side of the screen on the same
line. The controls
themselves are also confusing since when you change the paragraph alignment
settings to right to left
the left arrow moves the cursor to the right and the right arrow move the
cursor to the left.
This issue may also occur in other portions of NeoOffice like Writer since it
too also deals with
paragraph alignment. So the previous steps can be used to check wheather Writer
has a similar issue.
This issue couldn’t be replicated on OpenOffice 1.2 on the same PowerBook or On
Windows XP SP2
OpenOffice 1.9.125 (English) since the right to left paragraph alignment
couldn’t be found.
The issue is not critical but it does seem to cause confusion and what would
seem like undesired
behavior for those who use it; so it’s probably something that should be looked
into since this creates a
confusing user interface, for anyone who wants to use the right to left
alignment feature.
