Bug description
Most of the select pull down options are misplaced in RTL languages such as Uyghur, Arabic, Farsi etc. But I found that there is one select which works fine: Personal -> Notifications -> Other activities -> Send activity emails. Anyway the issue is widespread in "Select" items in RTL languages.
Steps to reproduce
- Change the language of the Nextcloud account to a RTL language such as Uyghur
- Click on any "Select" items in the Personal or Administration Settings
- The Options of the clicked Select will be misplaced to the right with large margin
Expected behavior
This is the only "Select" that works well in RTL languages: Personal -> Notifications -> Other activities -> Send activity emails.
The options of the clicked-on "Select" should appear right underneath the default option.
