What's New in RTL Fixer
1.0.8
September 2, 2026
This update stops RTL Fixer from interfering with the message box, fixes how code appears inside right-to-left answers, and makes custom sites more reliable. • The text box where you type is now left alone. Previously the extension and the editor kept undoing each other's changes many times per second while you had text in it, which wasted battery and CPU. • Code snippets inside right-to-left text now read left to right, so brackets, semicolons, and other punctuation stay where they belong. • Code blocks inside right-to-left answers are no longer pulled into the surrounding text direction. • Custom sites: a damaged saved entry can no longer block adding or removing sites, and entries saved with unusual capitalization can now be removed. • Site access is released when adding a site does not finish. • Turning a site back on right after turning it off now takes effect without reloading the page. • The popup follows the system light and dark appearance, and keyboard focus stays in place after removing a site.
