On LibreOffice 6.0.0.2, in the paragraph panel of the properties deck, there appear the two symbols for left-to-write text and for right-to left text.
I can understand that it may be useful to have both symbols readily at hand sometimes, but it doesn’t seem like a high priority to have them in that location.
Is this the way it should look on Windows 10, or is there a glitch?
It is necessary, and helpful, when working in more than one language in a Paragraph or a document.
By default LibreOffice will have Western, Eastern, and Complex Text Languages (CTL) enabled on the Tools → Options → Language Settings → Languages tab.
If you uncheck the CTL entry, the LTR/RTL widgets will be suppressed on the Properties deck → Paragraph content panel.
Thank you for the explanation.
The need is understandable. The question is why, of all icons that could be in that location, these have priority.
