Additional information
- This only happens for the note’s title. The note body itself is unaffected.
- Despite the bug report’s title. I’ve only tested this in Arabic, but I suspect this happens in all RTL languages. It might be a good idea to verify this to make sure it’s not an Arabic-specific bug.
Here’s a 30-second clip explaining the issue (captured on iPadOS, but I also reproduced this on iPhone)
