To reproduce: # Go to Meta # Enable new Vector and new search # Switch user language to Hebrew. Look carefully at the search box: the placeholder says "search Meta", aligned to the right, and with the Hebrew word חיפוש on the right. # Click the search box. Observe: The placeholder jumps to the other side, and the Hebrew word חיפוש is now on the left. Expected: The placeholder is supposed to remain in the same place and in the same visual word order. This happens in all wikis when using them in a language whose direction is different from its content language, e.g. English Wikipedia with Hebrew user language. It's particularly relevant for multilingual wikis, like Wikidata, Commons, and Meta.
