Other comments

As a temporary solution I added visibility: hidden; for the closed state, but in this case the navigation becomes inaccessible for the screen readers

Research direction

Start with the linked Vuetify Playground reproduction and the VNavigationDrawer entry point, then reproduce the issue by toggling text direction repeatedly. Trace the drawer's position and closed-state behavior, including the screen-reader concern. Done means changing direction does not visibly move the sidebar and the closed navigation remains accessible.
