When RTL (right-to-left) text is present in a Telegram Desktop post, the reaction emojis and engagement metrics become misaligned and overlap with other UI elements in the broadcast view. This rendering issue causes the interface elements to display incorrectly, making the reactions and numbers difficult to read and creating visual clutter in the interface.
Steps to reproduce
Steps to Reproduce:
Open Telegram Desktop and navigate to any public channel where you have broadcast permissions
Create a new post with RTL text content (Arabic or Persian/Farsi text)
Publish the post to the channel
Observe the reaction emojis and engagement metrics display on the last post in the channel feed
The UI elements (reactions, view count, and forward button) become misaligned and overlap when the post contains RTL text
Expected Result:
Reaction emojis and engagement metrics should maintain proper alignment and spacing regardless of text direction.
Actual Result:
When RTL text is present in the last post of a public channel, the reaction emojis and their counts, along with the view count and forward button, overlap and display incorrectly in the broadcast view. The elements appear jumbled together rather than properly spaced, creating visual clutter and making the interface elements difficult to read.
Platform: Telegram Desktop
Affected Area: Public channel broadcast view, specifically the last post display
Text Direction: Issue occurs with Right-to-Left (RTL) languages
