Expected Behavior
Text should appear correctly.
If a text starts with Hebrew it should be fully right-to-left, no matter if it has some English in it.
Current Behavior
Some Hebrew text appears in reverse, as in the last word is first.
Mainly happens when Hebrew and English words appear together.
Steps to Reproduce
- Launch OBS
- Change language to Hebrew.
- Some texts will appear backwards.

I will add more here if and when I find them.
