r12a has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/alreq: == Should progress bars in HTML progress and meter elements be read RTL? == ## Background This question was prompted by the HTML issue at https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/8413 Currently, for RTL script text Blink, WebKit and Gecko engines all reverse the direction of the progress bar when `progress` or `meter` elements are used in HTML. This means that the direction of the controls is the same as the reading direction of the text. For example: <div style="text-align:center"><img width="510" alt="Screenshot 2022-10-25 at 13 01 50" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/4839211/197768217-9e9893fa-ae44-44a0-b90e-e0350b89e36d.png"></div> [Test for meter](https://w3c.github.io/i18n-tests/exploratory/vanilla?text=%3Cp%20dir%3D%22rtl%22%3E%D8%A8%D9%8A%D8%B9%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AA%D8%B0%D8%A7%D9%83%D8%B1%3A%20%3Cmeter%20min%3D%220%22%20max%3D%22100%22%20value%3D%2275%22%3E%3C%2Fmeter%3E%3C%2Fp%3E%0A%3Cp%20dir%3D%22ltr%22%3ETickets%20sold%3A%20%3Cmeter%20min%3D%220%22%20max%3D%22100%22%20value%3D%2275%22%3E%3C%2Fmeter%3E%3C%2Fp%3E&fontSize=36&width=500&height=500&a=%5BExploratory%20test%5D%20Check%20whether%20the%20browser%20changes%20the%20direction%20of%20the%20progress%2Fmeter%20control%20in%20RTL%20text.&i=Compare%20the%202%20results%20below.)
