Example picture

I have english by default thus the text in the task manager is left to right as it should. I have one guy on discord with an arabic name and because of that the text orientation changes in the task manager.

I forgot to mention the same happens in Firefox Quantum too. Is not just Waterfox. I assume is the task manager. I am not even sure if is a feature or a bug at this point.
Comment 2 Eike Hein 2018-09-17 03:59:04 UTC
This is probably just the correct behavior from your description, but please add a screenshot to be sure.
Comment 3 RaitaroH 2018-09-17 09:24:30 UTC
I did add a screenshot, but here is firefox and waterfox side by side. Both have the same behaviour. I am just not sure if this is a bug or a feature.
