Always Incorrect Tab Switching & Arabic Text Rendering Issue on iPad

Would you mind sharing some screenshots of this?

As shown in the screenshots, the tab content is swapped. For example, on the Netflix page, the Google link, page title, and favicon are displayed instead, and vice versa. This causes confusion and leads to problems when closing a tab, as the unintended tab gets deleted.

In the “View All Tabs” screen, the text in the tab search field appears reversed. Additionally, when typing in this field, both Arabic and English text appear reversed and unreadable.

Note: Even though the Netflix and Google tabs appear with the correct title and favicon in the “View All Tabs” screen, the selected tab is still swapped — for example, selecting the Netflix tab actually opens the Google tab.

I hope a fix can be released as soon as possible.

This bug occurred while using the Arabic language on an iPad (A16 chip) 11th Generation running iPadOS 18.5

Hi @RoxyRoxyRoxy ,

I hope you’re doing well.

I just wanted to kindly follow up on the bug I reported a few days ago. I saw it was marked as “under review,” and since it’s been about four days, I wanted to check if there have been any updates.

Also, if possible, do you have an estimate on when a fix might be released?

Thank you so much for your time and all the work you’re doing

mjeed51 No updates to share yet, but I will 100% let you know when there are. I'll ping the dev team on Monday and see if any release estimate can be provided, I appreciate this is probably a very annoying issue to daiy drive with!

Hi mjeed51, thank you so much for your patience and the detailed info you put in this ticket.

I've been able to easily reproduce the issue and worked on a fix. Although not making the experience for right-to-left (RTL) languages perfect it fixes the annoying bugs you described and a few minor UI inconsistencies.
This should be published in a new release soon.

Thank you for your help in making Orion a better browser!

Thank you for getting back to me and for working on this issue.
I truly appreciate the effort you’ve put into improving the RTL experience and fixing the bugs I reported, along with the other UI inconsistencies.
I’m glad to contribute to making Orion better, and I look forward to trying the upcoming release.

Best regards,
Mjeed
