Hello Friends,
When we tag somebody in our website a Horizontal scroll bar is showing for some reason and you can see the picture below:

I can reproduce this when using a right-to-left locale.

The problem is with the div that’s created by `caret_position.js`. It’s position is set to `left: -7000px`. Switching it to `right: -7000px` for RTL locales solves the problem. I haven’t worked through all the details of what it’s doing.

No, don’t do that. It will have to be fixed in the Discourse code. It doesn’t look like it can be targeted with custom css.

Ok, sounds well, so this maybe will be fixed in next update ?
because also tagging somebody is moving the users from mobile view to desktop view automatically on small screen mobile phones which making tagging somebody very difficult for the user.
Thanks.

An easy fix for this is to add an `id` to the clone div, and then set its left/right position with css instead of with javascript.
```plaintext
clone = $("").appendTo("body");
```
```css
#caret-clone {
left: -7000px; // left will be automatically converted to right in the rtl stylesheet
}
```
