RTL Support Doesn't Work

[mfalthaw]

Thanks for your contributions and for supporting RTL!

We were testing rheostat slider and we encountered issues with RTL. (see gif below)

Slider direction is flipped (opposite to the mouse movement direction)

relates to #235

Hi, I would like to work on this issue.

[richardgreg]

@ljharb is this repository still actively maintained and used?

[ljharb]

@richardgreg yes. You don't have to ask to work on an issue; anything with a "help wanted" label is up for grabs.

Hello @ljharb and @richardgreg I've fixed the RTL issue on localhost. It required quite a few changes like this within <Slider/> ....

I've verified that this works for each RTL Story. Unfortunately, when I try to git push to make a pull request I get this error....

remote: Permission to airbnb/rheostat.git denied to a15n.
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/airbnb/rheostat.git/': The requested URL returned error: 403

I'm looking into that now, but thought I'd revive this issue.

I wouldn’t expect a push to work on https; you may need to try ssh - but either way, if what you have builds on #285, can you push a branch to your fork, and i can pull in your changes to that PR?

I've made this demo PR, which highlights that RTL auto-flipping is no longer happening. It hard-codes the correct left/right direction in the JS, but it cannot change the CSS. Regardless, this PR is just demonstrating that RTL would work again if the auto-flipping were working.

@ljharb, @rcourtie, @majapw any idea what may have caused RTL auto flipping to stop working sometime after it was introduced in 2019?
