What it looks for
Directional icon pointing against the sequence its control advances
How to fix it
Mirror directional icons under RTL, [dir=rtl] .icon-arrow-right { transform: scaleX(-1) }, or swap the sprite for the opposite glyph. An arrow named for a physical side points the wrong way the moment the page flips.
More direction and bidi checks
- R020Forced-LTR container, or a bidi override, over Arabic content
- R021Unisolated bidi hazards: phones, emails, Latin tokens inside Arabic text
- R022text-align: left explicitly set on majority-Arabic text
- R023Text inputs rendered LTR where Arabic input is expected
- R024Punctuation rendering at the wrong visual end of Arabic text
