Research direction
Start by reproducing flyout scrolling in the Scratch Blocks editor with Arabic selected on Mac Safari and iOS Safari. Compare category-button auto-scroll and drag scrolling with another editor language, then trace the flyout scrolling entry point. Done means both interactions are smooth and snappy in Arabic on the affected Safari platforms without regressions elsewhere.
