Text in Arabic is not right leaning which makes it feel really awkward while writing

I wish text in Arabic leaned right because otherwise it behaves so weirdly. I’m going to show you two videos of me holding down the left arrow key, and then the right arrow key. The first is in F&F where the text doesn’t align right, and the other is in Google Translate where it does.


Notice the behavior in the F&F one. The cursor teleports leftmost of the arabic text, starts going right even though I’m holding the left arrow key, and when it reaches the right side of the arabic text it teleports to the left of it again. None of which happens in the Google Translate text. I’m guessing that the text being aligned to the right instead of left in F&F is what’s causing the weirdness, as it creates a dissonance between the punctuation markers and the actual arabic text, both of which are trying to align in different directions.
