Jira Mixed LTR/RTL Support

About

Jira Smart RTL/LTR Auto-Direction fixes the long-standing issue where Jira does not properly handle mixed right-to-left and left-to-right text inside its rich-text editors.
If you type Hebrew, Arabic, Persian, or any other RTL language together with English, Jira often displays paragraphs with broken alignment. This extension solves it automatically.

✨ What this extension does

Automatically detects whether a paragraph should be RTL or LTR.

Works in all Jira contentEditable editors (comments, descriptions, issue fields, etc.)

Updates paragraph direction only when you type — no heavy scanning, no performance hit.

Leaves Jira’s UI untouched; affects only text direction inside editable content.

100% local — no data is collected or sent anywhere.

🛠 How it works

Monitors for Jira editor fields (contenteditable="true").

Assigns dir="auto" to the editor and its paragraphs.

Applies CSS to ensure browsers correctly respect the direction.

Efficient, safe, and avoids infinite loops or mutation flooding.

✔ Permissions

The extension only runs on Jira domains:

*.atlassian.net

*.jira.com

💬 Why this is useful

Mixed-language teams often waste time manually fixing paragraph direction in Jira.
This extension removes that friction completely — type naturally, and direction “just works”.
