Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 102052
Function list and textarea in Calc Fucntion Wizard should be LTR
Last modified: 2013-03-25 15:59:36 UTC
In the Calc Function wizard, the function list is aligned right by default for RTL languages. This is incorrect, since the function names should not be translated, as the chosen function name is to be inserted into the formula. The attached patch aligns the names in the function list to the left, even for RTL. The patch also set the text direction of the Function Wizard text to LTR, since formulas entered with RTL text direction are very unreadable. Example: type "=sum(A1:", and you get ",sum(A1=" if the text direction is RTL.
