RTL languages: reversed text and operators, erratic dragging, custom blocks lost off-screen #3656

Description

@cwillisf

In right-to-left languages the editor is severely disrupted: text and operators render reversed, dragging behaves erratically, block outlines render left-to-right, UI elements go off-screen, custom blocks can disappear off-screen, and the set-thumbnail popup is untranslated. A Hebrew-language program with about 100 students reported significantly disrupted classroom use. Reported by @redspacecat; repro confirmed by @kaylen-s (2026-05-05).

This issue covers both the behavioral and visual RTL regressions.
