Research direction

Start by reviewing the component list in the issue and the client-side VFormLayoutTable entry, then determine the scope for one layout or widget. Check the existing manual and TB testing setup for RTL behavior. Done means a separately scoped component has RTL support and corresponding tests; the task list itself is incomplete and should be updated.
