Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.31-1-amd64

very important rtl/ltr text formatting functions (icons) in cell's format dialog.
and also it is missing from the toolbar.

it controls the flow of the entire cell's content not just the alignment
it is a must for bidi language support :-)

please see OpenOffice suite.

Dear Bug Submitter,

This bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? I am setting the status to NEEDSINFO pending your response, please change the Status back to REPORTED when you respond.

@Nadav can you please retest? Lots of things changed since.

This issue is 11 years old :-)
I am not using KSpread for many many years,
As I have using LibraOffice, which works fine in RTL :-)
It seems the koffice.org is not available any more, and I can not seem to install koffice or kspread with my apt package manger (I use Kubuntu 10-19)
Doing some research, it seem koffice is no Calligra? can someone confirm?
If so, I can install it to verify if this issue is relevant to it, and if it is solved.

Comment 5 Yaron Shahrabani 2020-11-08 06:20:19 UTC

LOL, well calligra still exists:
https://calligra.org/

If you have a proper test case you can try it yourself and post it here (preferably with screenshots) and we'll see how bad it is (or isn't).

Thank you!
