When using an RTL interface language (e.g. Hebrew), there's a directionality problem on "Special:Preferences => Appearance", under the "Files" section.
Next to the "image size limit" field, the text is displayed as 600px×800 instead of 800×600px.
Here is a screenshot:
| Subject | Repo | Branch | Lines +/- | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| "Image size limit" text should always read left-to-right | mediawiki/core | master | +2 -1 |
To force it to read LTR, I added a ‎ character before the × (i.e. "times") character.
This is better than changing the directionality of the select element to ltr, because when the form is RTL, the element must be RTL too (otherwise the dropdown arrow will be on the wrong side).
