Hi all Here’s a weird but funny issue 😃 when I write in the course description the text is written in RTL style! Fortunately, we can make a workaround using the raw HTML text, but is important for us to solve this issue for people not so technical. An example in the video below. Thanks in advance Regards ---

Hi @Yago Can you confirm the version of Tutor/MFE that you are using? there was an issue like this sometime back that did have a fix issued, I’m wondering if you might be running an older release or if this is a separate issue not addressed by the same fix: [fix: separate initialValue to not cause re-render on updates by marslanabdulrauf · Pull Request #2599 · openedx/frontend-app-authoring · GitHub](https://github.com/openedx/frontend-app-authoring/pull/2599) ---

Yup, I think that explains it. As far as I can find the fix was not backported to Teak, unless i missed it somewhere… Updating to the latest release should fix that issue for you though ---

Mmm ok, guess we will wait for the next release, as we can use the HTML code workaround meanwhile. Thanks Joel, Regards! ---

@Yago the next release after Teak (Ulmo) was released in January, so no need to wait! ---
