What's even funnier is that when I visited your Facebook group, the first post I saw was someone apologizing for writing in English because of Facebook's atrocious RTL support. So yeah, I wouldn't hold this problem against whatever open-source library is causing it, when much larger companies with much deeper pockets still can't figure RTL out. It's been ages since I've used Twitter, but I remember its RTL support to be exceptionally good. It even manages to not mangle RTL text when the interface itself is LTR, something that Google doesn't even seem to be aware it's doing. I would still like this problem to be fixed, and would appreciate any pointers regarding reporting somewhere where someone can actually figure it. It also seems worth repeating that this problem isn't universal to Linux. It doesn't occur for example in Firefox, Thunderbird, PyCharm or Sublime Text from what I've been able to test. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
