Description

Hi, Thanks for this plugin.

Pls try to read the numbers one to nine in the picture below. (Remember that I wrote them in order)

This is a real mess. Isn't it?
Now imagine how can I read and edit a simple HTML!

Just give the textarea direction: ltr; to fixe it

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

Just drag a Custom HTML Block or try to edit a block in HTML

Thanks for the report.

Looking at the tickets and PRs below, it seems that the LTR layout is suitable for fields and text areas where codes are entered.

• #26666 (Text in built-in file editor is RTL instead of LTR) – WordPress Trac
• #18021 (Theme editor textarea direction (RTL) - Arabic) – WordPress Trac
• Custom CSS: Force display of in custom css input boxes to LTR #50768

I don't understand RTL languages, but do you think it makes sense to have the title area in LTR layout as well?

Yes that right. LTR layout is suitable for codes

I don't understand RTL languages, but do you think it makes sense to have the title area in LTR layout as well?

I'm not quite sure what the 'title area' refers to. Could you please provide a picture that showcases it? That would help me understand better. I'll be happy if I can help.

Ah, somehow I seem to have mentioned a code editor title that is completely unrelated to this issue. Please ignore this question of mine 😅
