Confirmed, I'll see if this is something we can fix on our end So I managed to fix this, but making it mixed with LTR languages like English is going to be difficult for now (but not unsolvable)... What's the better solution here: keep it LTR if it detects English or keep it RTL with English also being shifted? If it's the latter, I can submit my fix :) (In reply to Joshua Goins from comment #2) > So I managed to fix this, but making it mixed with LTR languages like > English is going to be difficult for now (but not unsolvable)... > > What's the better solution here: keep it LTR if it detects English or keep > it RTL with English also being shifted? If it's the latter, I can submit my > fix :) thanks, but in my language we use some foreign words from other languages and our toots could be a mixture of persian and english words. in markdown we use direction = auto to make things stay in their position. i guess it could help you too. After talking to some other people about it, I have a solution but it won't be implemented anytime soon. It would chop up the paragraphs so that rtl text wouldn't be mixed with ltr text, similar to how it looks on websites and markdown. A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/network/tokodon/-/merge_requests/462 Git commit 3d6f5ff58604978e4d85d201078c69bc3acd900b by Janet Blackquill. Committed on 24/01/2024 at 17:03. Pushed by jblackquill into branch 'release/24.02'. PostContent: assorted bidirectionality fixes - turn mentions into bidirectional isolates which makes them work nicer inline in RtL - split apart <br/> into text blocks, which allows each line to have its own direction like other platforms render them (cherry picked from commit 80eb1b3e35a3dfa60deff6a53a2ad53f9536a396) M +2 -0 src/CMakeLists.txt M +1 -6 src/content/ui/StatusDelegate/PostContent.qml M +1 -1 src/utils/clipboard.cpp A +75 -0 src/utils/textpreprocessing.cpp [License: LGPL(v2.0+)] A +25 -0 src/utils/textpreprocessing.h [License: LGPL(v2.0+)] https://invent.kde.org/network/tokodon/-/commit/3d6f5ff58604978e4d85d201078c69bc3acd900b |
