Summary0016867: If a right to left paragraph follows a left to right paragraph, one of the paragraphs will not work properly
DescriptionSuppose I am writing a book in an RTL language and all my paragraphs are right to left.
Now I need to write a paragraph in English between all other paragraphs and I have to set this paragraph's direction left to right.
In this case, the direction of all my RTL paragraphs also changes, the UI shows they are still right to left that should be but they work like left to right paragraph. All the writing will be messed up, the end points of the line are moved to the beginning of the line and if there is an English word in the Persian paragraphs, it messes up the whole paragraph.
Steps To ReproduceCreate a text frame.
Type one English paragraph and one RTL language paragraph inside the text frame. Make sure you're using a right to left language while writing the right to left paragraph. put a dot at the end of each paragraph. In text properties style both of them right to left.
As you can see now, dots are at the left of the last line of the paragraphs, that is correct for Persian paragraph and wrong for English paragraph. Because English paragraph ends at the left and dot should be at the end of the sentence.
Now change the English paragraph direction to left to right, so the dot position on English paragraph must be fixed and it will be and as we didn't change the Persian paragraph direction so that should work fine too but it the dot will position will be at the right of the Persian paragraph that is wrong.
Additional InformationI think this happens because for some reason all paragraph directions in a text frame changes while changing a single paragraph direction but it doesn't show it on the UI. I'm not sure, I'm just guessing. Also this issue happens with all linked text frames.
