To reproduce the issue regarding the placement of the mention suggestion list box in a right-to-left (RTL) layout on Discourse, you can follow these steps:

**Priority/Severity:** Medium - This bug affects the user interface and user experience, especially for users in RTL languages. It does not break functionality but can cause difficulties in usage.

**Platform:** Tested on a desktop, OS: Windows 10, Browser: Google Chrome.

**Description:** In Discourse, when an RTL language is enabled and a user tries to mention another user (by typing ‘@’ followed by the beginning of a username), the suggestion list box appears out of the viewable window area. This issue makes it impossible for users to see the list of username suggestions.

**Reproducible Steps:**

1. Setup Discourse in an RTL language setting. (You can set this up from Admin settings.)
2. Login as a test user.
3. Navigate to any topic where you can leave a comment.
4. Start typing a new post or a reply and attempt to mention another user (type ‘@’ followed by the beginning of a username).
5. Observe the location of the mention suggestion list box that appears.
