I can't seem to reproduce this. What browser/version/OS are you on?

That an old screenshot? It's printing different in my comp right now...

msh210‭ wrote about 4 years ago

The page specifies it's in English and nothing lower-level specifies otherwise or RTL as far as I can see, so that really shouldn't happen. I wonder whether perhaps you have a browser setting that specifies right-to-left or Hebrew (or another RTL) language for some things.

Huh, I looked at it again and it is normal now. It was on Firefox 80.0.1 for macOS, for what it's worth.

Can reproduce on Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge (Chromium browsers)

Also reproduced (Chrome, Mac) with no special language settings.

msh210‭ wrote about 4 years ago

I also just reproduced on Windows Chrome despite it looking normal when I checked a few days ago. Very strange! (No special language settings.)

Monica Cellio‭ wrote about 4 years ago

We made some RTL-related fixes and I'm not seeing this any more, but I don't know if we (think we) fixed this. Are you still seeing it?

user53100‭ wrote about 4 years ago

@MonicaCellio Yes, the formatting is still mangled for that comment
