What's Wrong?

Subject: Issue with Arabic Text Rendering in VS Code (Reversed Text)
To the Claude Support Team,
I am writing to report a technical issue regarding the display of Arabic text within the Claude interface in Visual Studio Code.
The Problem:
When I type in Arabic or receive a response from Claude in Arabic, the text appears reversed or incorrectly aligned. The characters do not flow from right to left as they should, making the content very difficult to read and edit.
Details:
Environment: Visual Studio Code.
Issue: Lack of proper RTL (Right-to-Left) support in the extension/terminal interface.
Symptoms: Arabic letters appear in the wrong order, and punctuation marks are misplaced at the beginning of the lines instead of the end.
Could you please look into improving RTL support for the Claude integration in VS Code? This would greatly enhance the experience for Arabic-speaking developers.
Looking forward to your update.
Best regards,
Hussam
