Description
When elements with dir=“ltr” are descendants of elements with dir=“rtl” or vice versa, both styles are applied. To fix this, we need to add a CSS rule to the compiled files, something like this:
[dir=rtl] :not([dir=ltr]) .classname {…}

Research direction
Start by examining the compiled CSS files and the existing rules for nested dir="ltr" and dir="rtl" elements. Reproduce a case where opposing direction styles are both applied, then verify that the compiled output scopes each direction correctly and that the nested-direction behavior no longer applies both styles.
