On RTL wikis, the textbox where CAPTCHA is typed follows the directionality of the page (i.e. RTL). This is a problem because our CAPTCHAs are always left-to-right (English words, or the like).

Huji: Do you really use 1.19.2?
Can you provide a link where this problem can be seen?

Change 80492 had a related patch set uploaded by Amire80:
Force left-to-right on CAPTCHA

... So I did miss something.
This input box is handled by core and by different extensions - ConfirmEdit, MobileFrondtend, ContentTranslation, etc.
Until we have RTL captcha it should be LTR everywhere. I'd do this:
#wpCaptchaWord {
/* @noflip */ direction: ltr;
}The question is in which CSS file to put it. Is there even one that is loaded by all incarnations of MediaWiki - desktop, mobile, ContentTranslation (which avoids the skin)?
