When the direction of the interface language is different from the direction of the site content, the feedback comments will likely appear with incorrect direction. I refer to the <blockquote> in which there is a <span> with class="articleFeedbackv5-comment-short". This scenario is rare, but possible. There are several possible solutions: 1. Apply dir="auto" to the <blockquote>. It will work only in Gecko and Webkit and it will work incorrectly in some cases, but should be more flexible. 2. Apply the direction of the site's language to the <blockquote>. This will work in all browsers, but may be incorrect if the comment was written in a language, the directionality of which is different from the directionality of the site.
