## Feature(s) impacted

Regression in the last days in Functionality in Rich Text Editors Widgets in Forest Admin

## Observed behavior

All our rich text editors widgets seem to malfunction, some basic buttons such as Enter and Escape don’t work, the text itself is written backward (RTL) instead of left to write like normal english.

## Expected behavior

I expect the Rich Text editor to work as it was just a few days ago, I suspect this is a recent change

- Team name: Care Ops
- Environment name: Production/Development
- Agent technology: (nodejs, php, rails, python): Nodejs

Hello @Avishai_Lippner,

Thanks for your report. Indeed, a recent contribution on the rich text editor widget caused this regression.  
The issue should be resolved now. Can you confirm this point ?  
Sorry for the inconvenience caused 🙏
