Bug #: 32403
Summary: RTL title ending in a neutral-direction character
displays incorrectly when viewing in an LTR language
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: User interface
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Blocks: 745
Classification: Unclassified
When viewing a page like [[ar:عمان (مدينة)]] (ending in a bracket, a neutral
character) with an LTR langauge chosen as the interface language, the final
character of the title is displayed to the right of the word, as if it is at
the start, when it should obviously be displayed at the left (at the end). It
displays correctly if the interface language is RTL.
This bug seems to have started when a recent interface change was made, when
the layout started to depend on the selected interface language rather than the
language of the wiki.
Basically, before a recent change, the layout of RTL wikis was always the same
no matter what the interface language was, and was a mirror of the interface on
LTR wikis. Recently, that was changed, so that the menu is on the left side if
you select an LTR interface language. For some reason, this also changed the
side the title is displayed on, and also introduced this bug.
As this bug also appears on he.wiki ([[he:מכבי תל אביב (כדורגל)]]), I’d guess
this is a general bug on RTL wikis, rather than one specific wiki.
I’ve confirmed that this bug occurs on both Chrome and Firefox, and on both
vector and monobook skins.
