Description
Discussed in https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/discussions/17119
Originally posted by verygoodlee December 11, 2025
circle is rendered on the right side in the select/select-sid menu.
It's interesting that there's no issue in the select/select-track menu,
the only difference between the two menus is the addition of the track type prefix (Sub: ).
This might need to be fixed by libass, so I post it in Discussion.

Research direction
Start with the linked Discussion #17119 and reproduce the Arabic right-to-left case in the select/select-sid and select/select-track menus. Trace the rendering path to determine whether mpv or libass owns the misplaced circle; done means the menus render consistently without the reported layout defect, with a regression check if the project provides one.
