Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 37195
Handout display is always LTR
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:01:20 UTC
The order of slides in the handout layout is always LTR- even when the presentation itself is RTL and the page properties (under the format--page menu) are RTL. As there is no way to set the handout as RTL, this makes the feautre pretty unusable for Hebrew/Arabic presentations.
Created attachment 19334 [details] A simple presentation- notice how the slide order in handout view is from top left instead from top right.
reassign open l10n issue to new default owner.
Set target and new owner

Created attachment 42516 [details] Right-to-left handout view patch
I've attached a patch for this issue for review. The patch arranges slides from right-to-left in "Handout" view if the default text direction of the document is RTL. This will work for new documents. For existing documents, the arrangement will be RTL only the the user sets the layout again. See Christian Lippka's comments at http://graphics.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgNo=887
patch looks fine, changing target to 2.3 Important enough for 2.2.1?
Christian, are you taking care of the patch?
