Hi, here's a quote from the latest comment downstream Ubuntu bug report:

Hi,

RTL language user here (Hebrew), I signed up just to tell you that I got to this page after a nerve breaking search thru the menus looking for the RTL option exactly as Shahar described.

I was even more frustrated when I found out that the button is present on my sister's Windows machine running LibreOffice, but not on my Ubuntu laptop.

A little research is not gonna scare a CS MSc student of course, but every friend I know would have uninstalled the program or just stop using it.

From my experience, Usability >> Performance. What benefit do I get from an allegedly (did you actually benchmark the thing with and without the feature on and saw a meaningful difference?) faster program that I can't use?

You want better performance? Go look for the option to disable CTL. I'm not supposed to be looking for the option just to be able to use it. If the performance is OK for Microsoft Office with the feature on, no reason it won't be fine for LibreOffice.

Leave the damn thing on. And excuse my language & aggression :) I just wanna see open source get as usable as retail products.

Yigal.
