We'll definitely have the 6 buttons _available_. > In your suggestion, what would happen to the Align Start and Align End > buttons when you switch between LTR and RTL contexts? Would they swap places > on the toolbar somehow? Or would the icons only mirror? I see two ways to handle this. One is a boolean control which modifies the sense of the (existing) alignment Left and Right buttons, to be direction-sensitive. When it's off, things are like now; when it's on, the buttons choose Start or End according to the direction of the paragraph. Then we don't have to switch directions or mirror anything, and we can also translate back from the style of an existing paragraph to the state of buttons on the toolbar. The other -- less elegant, but probably easier to do, and I thought of it first, so I might as well record it here -- is to put the Start/End buttons in a toolbar sub-menu (like the one for spacing). Then we only need to show them with a specific paragraph as context, so we can pick the right icon; and we're free to position them one above the other, so no need to switch places. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
