Fix actions overlay covering up comments in RTL languages

When commenting on a shared file, the comments are being overlayed by the action buttons on hover,

so when hovering to resolve a comment you cant see if its the right comment.

this is only an issue on RTL languages where the text start from the right and the overlay is on the right too.

Covered by the action buttons:

    nudging this thread as this problem is really frustrating but should be an easy fix? The UI is always half covering the selected comment meaning I can never fully read the comment of the timestamp I am on

    Hey alfiemillar.

    I understand why this could be frustrating in this case, so I appreciate the nudge.

    Indeed, hovering over or selecting a comment brings forth the icons overlay, and this is the expected behavior for all languages.

    That said, we appreciate the feedback provided by everyone in this thread, and I'd encourage you to vote for this idea here when you have the chance.

    Thanks for posting on our Community!

    Have voted there, but it's not so much an idea but rather a fix! It's strange that the initial design would be to cover the information that you're clicking on to see.

    It's somewhat ridiculous this hasn't changed. It's A BAD USER EXPERIENCE. alfiemillar is right. It's not an idea, it's a bug.

    If a client provides new content, this bug makes it impossible to select the text to copy and paste... 

    Last we heard from you: 

    "This is actually an issue that our team is aware of and currently looking into."

    So which is it? 

    Expected behavior or bug?
