It happens only on Chrome. Tried already Firefox, Edge, IE. If you refresh a few times you can actually click it. It happens only if it is the unread.
It's a fresh new PC almost two weeks old, no sh!t installed on it, with the last version of Chrome.

I use Brave browser for Windows, and there is no link when clicking on topic title, but it works with link from the question mark. You should add Brave browser into the list. Refresh does not solve the issue (I actually refreshed ten times, issues not solved).

This is an old bug that was never fixed. The problem is that characters from right-to-left scripts (such as Arabic) switch the text direction and, if they occur at the end of the subject line, it's never switched back afterwards, which (in at least some browsers, anyway) screws up the rendering of whatever follows.

Chrome seems to have trouble with the arabic question mark code (؟), or de trailing semicolon:

Not only chrome, I am thinking it's a problem with chromium based browsers in general.
I am using Opera and it's having the same problem
So i am thinking the problem stretches to
- Brave Browser
- Vivaldi Browser
- Torch Browser
- UC Browser
among other chromium based browsers

Anyone confirm with brave?

You right the order is wrong, I thought the 2 1 was a part of the title of the thread Cheesy

, anyway, at least Firefox can open it.

I'm on chrome still able to open it but i just can't click the page 1/2
maybe he can't open it because of the question mark symbol that should be like this (?) but in that thread is like this (؟ )

On GNU/Linux, it works with Firefox but not with chrome.
I didn't test more browsers, since I wanted to rule ou the question of operating systems.

It is not OS oriented. Probably the encoding of some characters is messy with Chrome.
However, the "New" indicator is not after the title, but messed in the middle of page numbers.

I can click on it without any problem, maybe is a browser thing?

Try with another one, I'm using Firefox on this pc

As you can see the "bold" is gone (opened)

but don't you see the difference between that thread to the thread under it?
in What is your favorite Food ^{2 1} > ? all > (the page number should be after the question mark symbol right?)
Verified images with DeepVault ^{< 1 2 ... 7 8 All >} (the page number should be like this)

so the page number in that thread should look like this ^{< 1 2 All >}

It works with Firefox but doesn't work in Chrome or Opera. It's probably due to the special characters.
You guys remember that topic in Meta a few weeks ago where one user asked a similar question why it was not possible to click on a specific page in the Arabic local board? Its the same thing, you can click on the pages in Firefox but you can't if you are using Chrome or Opera.

Weird.

Try with different browsers.

In web language world browsers are mysterious sometimes. It has nothing to do with the code you write.

Very weird indeed
By the way if you click on the " ؟ ", it works

I also noticed that
- the numbering of pages is inverted and outside the arrows
- first arrow's direction is inverted
- The "New" tag is inside the arrows as opposed to the normal set up

This could be the reason the topic title is not clickable

Interesting, I tried it in this topic, I put ؟ but it's working good. It may be some combination of characters or the number of posts like page 1,2 etc. I refresh the page and it was OK but it was already open, then I marked it as Unread and tried it again, it what then I made the video of the error.

Weird.

You can see on the pic below the displacement of the pages and the position of the question mark, btw the question mark itself is clickable..

I came across this topic in Off-topic section >What is your favorite food؟ Note the question mark in the subject.
Tried to click to link but.. surprise, no link Cheesy

You can just click ALL and the whole conversation will be out.

Edit: Tried it thrice and I can still click the link and direct me to the OP. Try to focus the arrow on the character and it will work. This is a rare situation though. Cheesy
