With the recent rework made for the paragraph alignment features, we have also introduced an ""automatic default"" for the alignment buttons. It means that if the content is LTR, the left align button will be enabled by default. In RTL instead, the right align button will be highlighted instead. It sounded nice in the beginning, but now I'm a little bit worried about it. Let me bring some thoughts so we can discuss about it. Let's suppose we have the following HTML: {{{

This is a test.

}}} Looking at it as is, what is the alignment of this paragraph? ""None"", is the only correct answer. But FCKeditor says it is ""Left Aligned"" if LTR or ""Right Aligned"" if ""RTL"". The document direction setting in FCKeditor are there just to help reflecting the final result we'll have when loading the contents at the target web site. But the fact is that the direction information is not in any way saved along with the HTML produced with the editor. Now... what if I want to ""force"" the paragraph to be left aligned, even if the document is LTR. Here is a simple sample: {{{

This is a test.

}}} Here the editor is saying that my

is left aligned, which is not true. It is actually has no alignment specified, so it simply inherits it. But I can't make it left aligned, because the editor is saying that it is already to the left. There is a hack for it: align to right, and then to left. Those are just some issues that came to my mind. I know MS Word has this default behavior, but is also true that MS Word is not made to produce pieces of content to be injected, as FCKeditor does. Who knows how creatively will the content be used by our developers base. Maybe I'm wrong, so please correct me in this case.",Bug,closed,Normal,FCKeditor 2.5 Beta,General,,fixed,Discussion,
