Your Environment

• Platform [PC desktop, Mac, iOS, Office on the web]: PC desktop

Expected behavior

The content of the dialog should occupy the entire width of the dialog.

Current behavior

There is a space on the left in the dialog.

Steps to reproduce

1. Change the language of Excel on Windows to Hebrew or Arabic.
2. Open some content in a dialog with width option set to 35, using the Dialog API.

async function run() {
  await Excel.run(async (context) => {
    Office.context.ui.displayDialogAsync(
      location.href,
      { width: 35, height: 50, promptBeforeOpen: false },
      (asyncResult) => {}
    );
  });
}

/** Default helper for invoking an action and handling errors. */
async function tryCatch(callback) {
  try {
    await callback();
  } catch (error) {
    // Note: In a production add-in, you'd want to notify the user through your add-in's UI.
    console.error(error);
  }
}
