I'll take this on since it seems to have likely been introduced as a result of my PR.

Hi @drrlvn ,

We are aware of the problem and we are currently looking for a solution. Although our engineers are working on a fix, unfortunately I can't give a specific schedule for resolution. You might see a fix in the release notes for future versions of Signal.

Interestingly, I cannot replicate this in iOS Simulator, but can on my phyisical iPhone.

I have same issue here with arabic, does that mean it might be related to RTL languages as Arabic and hebrew are both RTL.

I can't progress this because I can't replicate on iOS simulator and don't have a piece of test hardware right now.

No, it is not connected to the languages being RTL. I noticed the exact same bug with several left-to-right languages as well.

This is now fixed in 6.47.0.10 Beta and in 6.46.1 Prod.
