Non-Western script users unite! Common interests of RTL, CTL and CJK language communities

LibreOffice (like MS Office) separates languages or scripts into the three groups: "Western" (West-European-script-like), RTL-CTL (written Right-to-Left or with Complex Text Layout), and CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean and others); and we tend to follow this distinction as QA contributors or as users. Specifically, neither the RTL-CTL crowd nor the CJK crowd tends to follow complaints, requests and challenges of the other group too closely. This is not helped, of course, by the small overlap between users of languages from both groups. In this talk I will provide several examples of needs, interests or complaints the two groups have in common - some obvious (when you think about it) and some less so. Interestingly, I will also give an example or two of _distinct_ issues, one for each script groups, which can and should be adressed together rather than separately. The examples will be mostly of currently-outstanding issues, but we may also delve into the past to consider how certain issues were resolved already.
