Jira Mixed LTR/RTL Support
Extension Actions
Automatically aligns Jira editor paragraphs based on language (LTR/RTL).
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”.
