Hi dear discourse,
In RTL, when we go to the end of the topic page, `topic-progress-wrapper` class makes the page cluttered. Please check this item.
When we comment on the following values, the problem is solved:
```css
@media screen and (min-width: 925px)
.container.posts .topic-navigation {
grid-area: timeline;
align-self: start;
/* position: -webkit-sticky;
position: sticky; */
top: 6em;
margin-right: 1em;
z-index: 100;
}
```

Hi @Nildarar
Can you please post a screenshot of the problem?

Not shown in the screenshot. Let me explain further. To see the problem, please do the following:
1. make your template RTL
2. Enter the mobile view
3. Increase the screen width to more than 925px
4. Scroll to the end of the topic
5. The **Topic Progress** module disappears from the screen and the page scrolls horizontally.
We could have fixed this problem ourselves by changing the CSS, but I thought there might be a bug beyond that and it would be found by your review.

Ok, so this is a symptom of a bigger problem. The root problem here is that Discourse should render in desktop view rather than mobile view when the screen is ≥ 925px wide. Can you tell me on what device(s) do you see this problem?
It’s worth mentioning that removing `position: sticky` may seem to solve this particular problem, but it will break the topic timeline (it will not go down as you scroll down a topic).

Kind of unrelated to this, but I noticed the topic progress bar should be on the left rather than the right when in RTL layout. I sent a PR for this here: [FIX: Topic progress bar should be on the left in RTL layouts by OsamaSayegh · Pull Request #11999 · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/11999).
