What issue are you seeing?

When using the ChatGPT Desktop application, right-to-left (RTL) languages such as Persian (Farsi) are not rendered correctly.

Instead of displaying the text from right to left, the application lays out the content as left-to-right (LTR), causing punctuation, mixed English/Persian text, code snippets, and paragraph alignment to appear incorrectly.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

What is the expected behavior?

  • RTL paragraphs should be rendered with proper right-to-left direction.
  • Mixed RTL/LTR text (e.g., Persian with English words, code, or numbers) should follow the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm and display correctly.
  • Text alignment and cursor behavior should match standard RTL text rendering.
