Direction (ltr/rtl) of feedback comments may be different from the direction of the interface language
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

When the direction of the interface language is different from the direction of the site content, the feedback comments will likely appear with incorrect direction. I refer to the <blockquote> in which there is a <span> with class="articleFeedbackv5-comment-short".

This scenario is rare, but possible.

There are several possible solutions:

  1. Apply dir="auto" to the <blockquote>. It will work only in Gecko and Webkit and it will work incorrectly in some cases, but should be more flexible.
  1. Apply the direction of the site's language to the <blockquote>. This will work in all browsers, but may be incorrect if the comment was written in a language, the directionality of which is different from the directionality of the site.
