The app language is English, the illustration on the left shows UITextfield
s content aligned to the left.. which is normal, but when the user selects an RTL/Arabic input language, the fields alignment are flipped automatically, how to force the alignment to be left disregarding the input language direction?
EDIT :
I tried this, and it's not solving the problem
let _beginningOfDocument = fieldPassword!.beginningOfDocument
let _endOfDocument = fieldPassword!.endOfDocument
fieldPassword!.setBaseWritingDirection(.leftToRight, for: fieldPassword!.textRange(from: _beginningOfDocument , to: _endOfDocument )! )
It came out that some library I was using caused this effect, it's MOLH library, it uses method swizzling, this is why this was difficult to debug...
I will be making a pull request to it soon to make this effect optional...
func listenToKeyboard() {
NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver(self, name: UITextInputMode.currentInputModeDidChangeNotification, object: nil)
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(inputModeDidChange), name: UITextInputMode.currentInputModeDidChangeNotification, object: nil)
}
@objc func inputModeDidChange(_ notification: Notification) {
if let language = self.textInputMode?.primaryLanguage, MOLHLanguage.isRTLLanguage(language: language) {
self.textAlignment = .right
} else {
self.textAlignment = .left
}
}
Thanks.
