Comment 0 for bug 927931

Currently, when a non-RTL locale is used, then the default settings are with RTL controls turned off.

I think that the feature is called CTL (complex text layout) but I'm not sure so I'm going to call it RTL until I get it sorted in my mind.

The problem is that many RTL users run their desktops in non-RTL locales. This is kind of mandatory since unity in Oneiric has some killer RTL bugs and they are the pinnacle of a considerable amount of bugs which make it much more realistic for RTL users to choose a LTR desktop. For example, me and most Hebrew users run en_US.

So these users, most RTL users, have to go in the options and turn on the RTL support before they can use the LibreOffice suite.

I'm here to complain but I don't know what the solution is. Does it hurt to turn RTL support on by default for all locales?

Thanks and blessings,
Shahar
