Description Nima Az 2016-11-07 07:11:44 UTC
Description:
I need to number chapters and subheadings in chapters in my thesis in a right-to-left language (Persian).  The outline numbering works as expected in LTR but when I switch the text direction, the order of heading numbers will not change.  For example, 1.2.3 in LTR would refer to subheading 3 of subheading 2 of chapter one.  In RTL I expect it to show on the right side of the page in the reversed order, ie., ۳.۲.۱.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. define outline numberings for heading 1, heading 2, etc.
2. modify heading styles text direction to RTL
3. apply the styles to the heading titles

Actual Results:  
outline numberings appeared in the wrong direction.

Expected Results:
in RTL language chapter number should appear on the right side, then outline number for heading 2, the heading 3, etc.


Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: Yes, many times.

Additional Info:
Just that this is very urgent.  If this cannot be resolved soon, I may have to switch to MS Office which I have resisted many years.  Or I will have to enter outline numberings manually.

I have searched for this problem.  Some people had mentioned the same issue in other places since maybe 2012 and some had suggested that this cannot be solved and a bug report/feature request must be filed.  I was unable to solve it too and did not find a bug filed for it, and hence the report.

سلام
لطفا فایل پیوستی را ملاحظه بفرمایید.  اینجا در واقع دو ایراد وجود دارد. یکی را قبلا توضیح دادم و دیگری را در این فایل اضافه کردم. داخل فایل مثال زده‌ام.

خیلی متشکرم.

در مورد علامت اعشار امیدوارم مساله در مورد شماره‌ی فصل‌ها و زیر فصل‌ها و ترکیب‌هایی مانند «(... ۲۱۳). بببب» که توضیح دادم حل شود و تاثیری روی رفتار لیبره آفیس با اعداد اعشار خالص مثل ۱.۲ نداشته باشد.

این مشکلاتی که شما در فایل پیوستی مثال زده اید به احتمال زیاد در نسخه 5.3 رفع خواهند شد
به هر حال باید با مشکلات کنار اومد
Comment 10 Buovjaga 2016-11-28 14:20:18 UTC
Set to NEEDINFO.
Change back to UNCONFIRMED, if the problem persists in 5.3. Change to RESOLVED FIXED, if the problem went away.

Hi,

Finally got to check the reported issue in 5.3.  The issue has not went away.

This is an obviously missing feature in LibreOffice.  There should be an easy way of changing the alignment of outline numberings to right-to-left when typing in an RTL language.  In RTL documents it's preferred that chapter numbers appear on the right, then following by other outline levels.
