happens automatically when in live-preview/editing mode, when im writing a text in an RTL language which is longer than one row, inside a bullet/number list.
doesn’t happen when in reading mode.
doesn’t happen when its just text without bullet points.
Expected result
when writing in a RTL language (such as Hebrew), text should appear horizontally in the next row when the text is longer than one row.
Actual result
when the text is more than one row, it splits down vertically, each letter in a new row (see picture)

Custom theme and snippets: for cosmetic issues, please first try updating your theme and disabling your snippets. If still not fixed, please try to make the issue happen in the Sandbox Vault or disable community theme and snippets.
Community plugins: for bugs, please first try updating all your plugins to latest. If still not fixed, please try to make the issue happen in the Sandbox Vault or disable community plugins.
Additional information
I tried it with the default theme and without any custom CSS, still persists.
doesn’t occur in none RTL languages (such as English).
Hello,
I recently updated to 1.0.3. attached is both a screenshot and a file where such bug happens (this bug happens on each file where RTL is involved, not only this one).
I wasn’t able to attach my screen recording here, so I uploaded it to google drive, here is the link:
let me know if it is good enough or to make another one.
also, when I said RTL I meant the type of input (for example writing in Hebrew), and not a specific settings in obsidian.
sorry, I don’t understand. The same thing happens when the file is only in RTL (for example the “testing file 1” I sent earlier. also, this didn’t happen before the update to 1.0.0.
I see. in a different vault the RTL settings work, but as you mentioned rtl doesn’t work in a mixed settings (such as bullet list), I’ll take a look at the link you sent. thanks.
Both in my regular vault and the sandbox vault, a long text (beyond a line width), at least under some circumstances that I was yet unable to pinpoint, is set with a huge negative text-indent and huge positive padding-inline-start in its element.style, leading to messed up text that spans a tiny column in the right.
Open the Sandbox vault.
Start a list (type - ), then type gibberish Hebrew text, or paste the text below:
The text should correctly wrap to the next line.
(This is unrelated to RTL – it happens in the default settings of the sandbox vault.)
Actual result
Instead of wrapping to the next line, the 2nd line is completely messed up. Inspecting the HyperMD-list-line element in the Developer Console shows text-indent: -673px and padding-inline-start: 677px.

I wasn’t aware of this open issue and the one I opened was merged here, so @WhiteNoise please allow me to clarify.
This issue has nothing to do with RTL mode, and certainly nothing to do with mixed RTL-LTR.
It is a regression – something that worked perfectly in Obsidian since literally day 1, before even the initial RTL plugin was released (by myself, BTW), let alone any follow-up RTL support.
It happens merely by writing a language like Hebrew in a normal, LTR note, in the sandbox vault without any special settings, which is something that always worked until one of the latest releases on which it broke.
