This discussion is spread across many separated issues (as it should) but I wanted to have a parent issue to discuss handling this problem once and for all.
We should really had RTL support in D7 long time ago, we had it in D6, and we don't have it anymore, this is a major regression, especially considering the fact that RTL support was one of the requirements for new core theme.
All these 7.0 and 8.0 rtl patches need to be committed once and for all, even if only 99% perfect, they are all interdependent and every time one of them gets outdated because another css patch got committed, all or many of them go back to needs work.
RTL support in D7 is becoming a real PITA to achieve.
Someone in the Israeli community already suggested maintaining a distro with rtl patches already applied, this seems weird but we are really this close to having RTL supported and yet, the current fresh install of D7 look really bad for RTL users.

Closed: outdated
11.0 🔥
CSS
After being applied to the 8.x branch, it should be considered for backport to the 7.x branch. Note: This tag should generally remain even after the backport has been written, approved, and committed.

It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.
There has been no work here for 10 years, the only child issue for the plan was closed as outdated and there are no open issues tagged 'rtl'. To me that suggests that this issue has served it's purpose.
Therefore, closing as outdated. If this is incorrect reopen the issue, by setting the status to 'Active', and add a comment explaining what still needs to be done.
