Describe the bug
How to reproduce the bug?

What is the expected behavior? The drag and drop should set the position correctly

editor.getWrapper().addClass("gjs-wrapper");
editor.Css.setRule('.gjs-wrapper', {
direction: "rtl"
});

@YairNa @sridhar391 it's not a RTL issue. chrome browser only we have face this issue. Firefox is working properly.
Thanks for reporting this, @YairNa.
Great question about Drag and drop not working well in case of RTL. The recommended approach with StyleManager is to use the event-driven API.
Start here:
- Check the GrapesJS documentation for your specific module
- Look for the
on()event listener method - Most operations can be achieved by listening to editor and component events
Common patterns:
// Listen for changes
editor.on('change', () => console.log('something changed'));
// Component lifecycle
editor.on('component:mount', (c) => console.log('component ready', c));
editor.on('component:update', (c) => console.log('component updated', c));
If you're still stuck:
- Share a minimal CodeSandbox reproduction
- Include what you've already tried
- Mention your GrapesJS version
