RTL numbered or bullet lists are broken

Bug
1

Real world example: ההנחיות בוויקי לגבי שמות - ישראל (Israel) - OpenStreetMap Community Forum

This section should be numbered, but isn’t - presumably because of bad CSS.

This image shows a screenshot of a post from zstadler on the OpenStreetMap community forum, featuring a red circle around some Hebrew text, with the text partially visible through the circle. (Captioned by AI)

Rendering is a bit different on desktop but still broken.

I’ll try to demonstrate it here too. I don’t know if it depends on forum settings. The following lists are identical in English and Hebrew.

Numbered:

  1. One
  2. Two
    1. Two point one
    2. Two point two
    3. Two point three
  3. Three
    • Three bullet one
    • Three bullet two

Bullet:

  • Bullet one
  • Bullet two
    1. Bullet two number one
    2. Bullet two number two
  • Bullet three
    • Bullet three bullet one
    • Bullet three bullet two

ממוספר:

  1. אחת
  2. שתיים
    1. שתיים נקודה אחת
    2. שתיים נקודה שתיים
    3. שתיים נקודה שלוש
  3. שלוש
    • שלוש פריט אחת
    • שלוש פריט שתיים

פריטים:

  • פריט אחת
  • פריט שתיים
    1. פריט שתיים מספר אחת
    2. פריט שתיים מספר שתיים
  • פריט שלוש
    • פריט שלוש פריט אחת
    • פריט שלוש פריט שתיים

Based on the preview - yup, it’s broken here too. (Edit: added a screenshot below)

A screenshot of the Hebrew lists above, as rendered on Firefox on Android at the time of writing. Only the text is visible, but numbers and bullet points are not visible, and sub-lists appear on the same level as the top level list.

Thank you, I hope this gets accepted! I’ve opened a request to apply this patch to the OSM forum directly too: Fix list CSS for RTL languages - 🐞 This forum issues and requests - OpenStreetMap Community Forum

P.S. it seems the OP of this thread was automatically translated to English for me and I can’t find a way to see the original in the mobile UI. What’s going on there? Obviously the issue is no longer visible in this case. Good thing I caught that screenshot earlier!
