claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [BUG] RTL/Hebrew text alignment issues in Claude Desktop [1 participants]

Error Messages/Logs

TL;DR

Implementing BiDi (bidirectional text) support and adjusting the layout to accommodate right-to-left languages like Hebrew is likely to fix the text alignment and ordering issues.

Guidance

• Investigate the current text rendering and layout engine used in Claude Code to identify where BiDi support can be integrated.
• Review the CSS or styling rules applied to the conversation text area to ensure they accommodate right-to-left languages.
• Consider adding a language detection mechanism to automatically apply right-alignment and BiDi support when Hebrew or other right-to-left languages are detected.
• Adjust the positioning of the hamburger menu and close button to prevent overlap, potentially by using a more responsive design.

Example

No specific code example can be provided without knowing the exact technologies and frameworks used in Claude Code, but a general approach might involve using CSS properties like direction: rtl; for right-to-left languages and ensuring the UI components are designed to adapt to different text directions.

Notes

The fix may require updates to both the desktop and web versions of Claude Code, given that the issue is reported in both. Additionally, thorough testing with different languages and scripts will be necessary to ensure the solution works as expected across various use cases.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by manually adjusting the CSS or styling of the conversation text area to support right-to-left languages until a full BiDi support integration can be implemented, as this would at least partially address the issue for Hebrew-speaking users.
