If I’m typing in a right-to-left language, I could hope to type ‘dash‘ followed by ‘less than’ and expect it to convert to a leftward arrow, like this: ← . That seems a reasonable expectation to me. But, when I type a less-than, the composer inserts a greater-than. This was quite unexpected. Is that the bug??
I notice a RTL text box (such as the search box on aljazeera.net) inserts numbers and maths symbols in LTR order within the RTL text. This seems natural enough. (It does the same for latin alphabetics)
Below I will type “less than is < and greater than is >” in a RTL context (I don’t know if this is how things would work in a RTL locale):
less than is < and greater than is >
