Calc 26.2 window, Arabic UI - note the status bar

Have a look at the status bar in the attached screenshot. The labels are either completely or mostly shifted out of view, so you can really not read anything that's written there, and are thoroughly confused by it. This is bad :-(

Version: 26.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 7ef1c437f30b0869a5b9fa33809bac2c6665ace3
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 6.12; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-IL (en_IL); UI: ar-SA
Calc: CL threaded

also seeing this with VCLs qt5 and gen.
