RTL Display Issue with Category Icons

AI-generated summary

serkhelesheyi reports an RTL display issue in the Discourse forum, where the parent category icon is incorrectly positioned on the left side of the text, unlike subcategory icons which are correctly aligned on the right for Persian (RTL) language users. This misalignment creates a visual inconsistency and affects user experience, as icons should consistently appear at the beginning of the text in RTL layouts. The issue is illustrated with images showing the discrepancy between expected and actual icon placement.


Dear Support Team,

I am writing to report a display issue observed in our Discourse forum interface, specifically related to Right-to-Left (RTL) language layout for Persian.

As illustrated in the attached image, the square icon for subcategories is correctly positioned at the beginning of the text, on the right side, which is consistent with RTL standards. However, the square icon for the parent category is inappropriately positioned on the left side of the text. This layout appears to be designed for Left-to-Right (LTR) languages and creates a visual inconsistency for Persian users.

This discrepancy in icon alignment affects the user experience for Persian speakers and leads to visual confusion. The expectation is that the main category icons should also be placed at the beginning of the text, on the right side, to align with the RTL standard, similar to the subcategories.

Thank you for your attention and cooperation.
