Bug ID: 163675
Summary: LO currently mixed up Left/Right with Start/End tabs
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 25.2.0.0 alpha0+
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]

A tab can be though of as a combination of the following:
1. A distance
2. A base point for measuring the distance (e.g. beginning of line, end of
line)
3. Alignment relative to the tab point
4. Fill character from the base point to the tab-aligned text
(I'm ignoring decimal tabs)
At the moment, we support just three combinations for items (2.) and (3.), and
we mis-represent them to the user. They are:
>From Line Start, align due line Start.
>From Line Start, align due line End.
>From Line Start, align at tab point as center.
Unfortunately, the former two are referred to as "Left tab" and "Right tab",
although that's not what they are.
This bug is about calling them "Start" and "End" tabs (i.e. "align the start of
the stretch of text" vs "align the left of the edge of text"). If we want
actual Left and Right tabs - we could add support for them.
