If we talk about a correct fix it would be: aligning RTL text to right then push those buttons to right, why? because reading Arabic is from right to left, when you have one copied word or two it doesn't matter because all of it will be visible even if aligned to left, but when you have a long copied RTL text you will only see the end of text which is not natural and incorrect and make it difficult to choose the highlighted item. One optimal solution would be to push all those annoying hovering buttons to a vertical small column at right like how CopyQ does it, then show every copied item correctly based on its language: RTL aligned to right and LTR aligned to left. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
