Problem:

Text area issues when using a right-to-left written alphabet and mixing numbers and characters.


Solution:

When you use an alphabet that writes right to left, you may see issues when writing something similar to "10 textstring 10" in the text area editor. The result will be similar to "10 10 textstring" after saving. This will only occur after using right shift + right crtl in edit mode, entering the text and saving.

 

Use "Edit html" instead of "Edit text area" and add the following to force it to use the right to left order:

<P dir="rtl">10 10 textstring</P>
