In order for the RTL layout to exactly mirror the LTR layout, when it comes to the portlets on the top of the page, the li's should float:right
Right now, they always float:left regardless of the directionality of the wiki.
In simple words, applying this rule to RTL pages fixes the problem:
#p-personal ul li {
float: right;
}
It needs to be fixed in the Common.css

If I understand correctly, this is the same issue as Bug 42337. I committed a more comprehensive solution for it in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/34849/ .
This is related, if not identical. I'd like to wait for that one to be completed before we work on this one. Marking that as a blocker for this one.
The Gerrit commit should probably be abandoned.
But thanks a lot for the quick reaction.
