Inline math direction is reversed in RTL text after latest update

Steps to reproduce

  1. Write a sentence in RTL (Hebrew/Arabic).
  2. Insert inline math formulas or LTR symbols (e.g., $n_1 \ge 3$).

Expected result

Inline math and LTR expressions should retain their correct direction inside the RTL line (e.g., “$n_1 \ge 3$”).

Actual result

Inline math rendering is completely reversed/scrambled inside RTL text (it renders backwards as “$3 \ge n_1$”).

Environment

  • OS: Windows
  • Obsidian Version: Latest release

Additional information

See attached screenshots showing the inline math direction before vs after the update.

Completely breaks my workflow. can this be fixed?

The current workaround is to downgrade to v1.13.8 (obtainable from Obsidian Releases) and disable auto-update.

For desktop, updates can be disabled via Settings > About as detailed here. For Android, within Google Play.

this issue still exists in version 1.15.0
