Can you please post a screenshot of this? I more or less imagine what can cause problems of this kind, but I don't actually see an example on Recent Changes in fawiki.

Also, which browser do you use?

I personally use Chrome, don't know about the others. Here's the screenshot:

I cannot reproduce it in Chrome.

Can you please try logging out and looking at the page again? This problem may be caused by one of the user scripts or gadgets that you're using, so we need to rule that out first.

No luck, I still have this problem. This is the exact address of RC I'm looking at. I think it isn't caused by a gadget or something since I checked fa, ckb and arwiki, all have this problem.

Have you tried it while logged out, or only in other wikis?

What is the red "واگردان" button in the beginning of each line in the screenshot? I don't see it if I go to Recent Changes.

That's "rollback" button (which is only visible to rollbackers and sysops). However, I tried while logged out, the problem was still there.

OK, can you please make a screenshot while logged-out? I want to rule out every possible difference that your account may have.

Sure, here:

I saw no problems at fawiki either on Firefox or Chrome, logged in or logged out. Maybe it's related to a particular OS.

I'm not sure, let me ask others in fawiki.

Hi @Ahmad252, thanks for taking the time to report this!
Unfortunately this report lacks some information: Please add a more complete description to this report by always providing a clear list of steps to reproduce (including a URL link that anyone can click), browser information, browser version information, operating system information, and also check if the problem also happens in safemode (see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Locating_broken_scripts ). Thanks!

You can edit the task description by clicking Edit Task.
Ideally, exact and clear steps to reproduce should allow any other person to follow these steps (without having to interpret those steps) and see the same results. Problems that others can reliably reproduce can get fixed faster.

@Aklapper Hi, I just edited the task with more detailed info. Thanks for pointing it out.

This is a rather high priority issue but I can't reproduce it. Maybe because I use the enhanced RC:

It's not just RC, I experience this problem in history and contribs as well. I checked contributions of a user in arwiki, and I only got this, just like fawiki:

Can you put the CSS rules for the tags? I have a feeling they are being eaten by CSS

Update: I experienced no problem in a firefox-based browser and Microsoft Edge works fine as well. Despite this, I checked Google Chrome in different situations, no luck.

@Ladsgroup There is this .mw-tag-markers::after, I think it is the one responsible for that (. To be honest, it's somehow confusing since it contains exact the same thing in Firefox and Chrome:

.mw-tag-markers::after, .mw-uctop::after {
    content: ')';
}

Yup, I was able to reproduce it in chrome. If the line breaks, it shows the closing bracket but before the content which looks interesting:

For the record, so does Safari. Which is interesting, because Chrome and Safari are both based on WebKit, yet somehow Safari gets this right but Chrome does not.

There is a complaint about it also in the Hebrew Wikipedia, which is my home wiki, but I still cannot reproduce it. I am testing in Chrome 76 on a Mac. I also tried on Windows, with the RC filters enabled and disabled, with admin account and non-admin account, and nothing helped—I just cannot reproduce it anywhere.

@Volker_E, which CSS rule are you talking about? Do you know how to reproduce it?

Hi Amire80, visit this history page: https://ar.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Stratifin&action=history

Look your left, after each ..PHP7, there should be a closing bracket "(": Spot marked in red below. But with this bug, each bracket is lonely left at extreme right. Spot marked with green. I viewed this history on Mac and Chrome 76.

From T232317.

Same issue on Arabic Wikipedia as below, e.g:

Special:RecentChanges

• Display language= Arabic

• Display language= English

So it seems this got introduced in Chrome 76, here's the still working version 75 as comparison:

https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/ if you think it's an Upstream issue to report.
Generally speaking, Chrome 76 seems to be rather buggy for us (see https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T232066 or https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T230623 or https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T232293).

Problem still exist, I have opened a discussion in Chrome bugs. Please add any further information you have.

Filed as https://crbug.com/1010641 with a minimal reduction

Generally speaking, Chrome 76 seems to be rather buggy for us

That is the first stable version that supposed to enable LayoutNG (revamped layout engine inside of Chrome which itself resolved many different bidi/CTL issues) publicly but it became complicated as it got disabled for Google Chrome users last minute for some reason using some magic that doesn't apply to Chromium users and may many others.

Fix will be in Chrome 78

@Ebraminio: Thanks for the explanation and for bringing this upstream! Really appreciated.

If there is nothing to fix in Wikimedia controlled code, we [should probably close this task as invalid](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bug_management/Bug_report_life_cycle)?

Thanks @Ebraminio!
