Welcome to the community @rose! Would you mind being more specific so that the community would be able to understand your issue and help you accordingly.
i changed it. thanks a lot
OK, do you mean in the form builder UI?
yes exactly there
Hi @rose
I would assume that this issue is now resolved and you are able to do what you had intended to do in the first place.
Stephane
no not resolved 
Hi @rose
Do you mind explaining what exactly is it that you see. As it is your query is not so clear. You can use some screenshots to clarify.

Stephane
I am creating a form from scratch.I’m asking some questions in my form so I’m using the select one option.the questions are in arabic and i copy it from another file.But since the arabic starts from the opposite direction, I have trouble sticking it.formal distortions occur
Hi @rose
What is the language on your browser? Could you send some screenshots that I can see how the issue is affecting you?
Stephane

@rose, i have never tried using the Arabic language but would you mind trying to change the browser language to Arabic and see if it does any good for you.
