Description
This stems from an issue filed in WooCommerce: https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/issues/13561
In RTL mode, pages will be blank until the window is scrolled or resized. This only happens in Chrome and it happens intermittently and primarily on admin pages (edit-posts, nav-menu, plugins, etc). I've verified this behavior on both existing sites using the RTL Tester plugin and on a fresh, Arabic WP install with no plugins. I can reproduce this on any default (2012-2017) theme.
To reproduce on an existing site:
- Install and activate the RTL Tester plugin.
- Switch to RTL mode.
- Open an admin page (plugins.php, etc.) in Chrome.
- Refresh the page repeatedly.
To reproduce on a new site:
- Create new Arabic-language site.
- Open an admin page (plugins.php, etc.) in Chrome.
- Refresh the page repeatedly.
I've also been able to reproduce this on frontend pages (e.g. search results, "Hello World", etc.), but it seems to happen less often.

- Component changed from I18N to General
- Focuses rtl removed
- Version 4.7.3 deleted
I can confirm that Chrome sometimes shows a white screen on RTL languages. It's not specific to WordPress. Scrolling a bit makes the page visible.
