No response

Reproduction steps

  1. Enable the "Synced Lyrics" plugin
  2. Play an arabic song (example : "Ya Tabtab Wa Dalaa" by Nancy Ajram)
  3. Observe the lyrics in the synced lyrics view

Expected Behavior

The Arabic lyrics should be displayed in the correct order

For example, in the song "Ya Tabtab Wa Dalaa" by Nancy Ajram, this is what the first line should be :
"يا أطبطب وأدلع"

Actual Behavior

The Arabic lyrics are displayed with the word order reversed.

In my example, instead of the correct order, it appears as:
"وأدلع أطبطب يا"

In image :
image

This makes the lyrics difficult to read and understand for users who read Arabic.

Enabled plugins

Synced Lyrics

Additional Information

I believe this issue may be related to how the app handles right-to-left (RTL) text rendering. The problem seems specific to Arabic text, as I have not encountered similar issues with lyrics in other languages.

I assume the problem arises from the fact that the lyrics display is splitting on each word, to have an animation effect, introduced in #2554
