Description itt788 2020-11-22 07:28:00 UTC

Description:
When setting the numerals formatting in any numbers field like list numbering, page numbering ... the language set gets back systematically to a same foreign language. For example, if the language is sanskrit (० १ २ ३ ४ ५ ६ ७ ८ ९), libreoffice changes it into farsi when reopening the document. In my installation farsi or persian has never been set anywhere manually as a default language neither it has been used ever. English is set as the default language for western script and Hindi for complex characters.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.make a numbered list of items
2.in the "customize" pane of numbering settings, select "१, २, ३, ..." in the list for the field "Number" and click "OK"
3.save and close the document and reopen it.

Actual Results:
numbers are set to farsi which is the field above "१, २, ३, ...". Farsi is the persian language, its numbers are like this "۱ ۲ ۳".

Expected Results:
language settings should not be automatically reset.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No


OpenGL enabled: Yes

6.2.5 is quite old.
Please give a try to last stable LO version 6.4.7 or brand new 7.0.3

I precise that this problem occurs specifically with sanskrit numerals. I tried with nearly all available types of numerals and so far only with sanskrit i'm observing this problem. I even tried after deleting ~/.config/libreoffice. Then in the Options menu "language settings">"languages" "complex text layout must be enabled for sanskrit numerals being available in the "bullets and numbering" customisation settings.

Is there any chance that someone solves this problem?

this was reported much later than this one but seems to have caught greater attention:
