RTL-Exclusive Issues#

These violations appear only when Drupal is rendered in Hebrew (RTL). They have zero matching violations in the equivalent English (LTR) page+theme+rule combination. This likely indicates either:

• An element that only renders in RTL context (e.g. the Hebrew language switcher link)
• A CSS layout or text rendering issue triggered by dir="rtl" that changes the computed colour or position enough to fail

_No purely RTL-exclusive violations found in current dataset._

RTL-Amplified Issues#

These violations exist in both English and Hebrew, but appear more frequently in Hebrew/RTL contexts. The amplification ratio shows RTL-instance-count ÷ LTR-instance-count.

2 issues are more severe in RTL.

Admin (Gin) Theme Only#

These violations are found in the Admin/Gin theme but not in Claro or Olivero. Issues here are specific to the Gin administration theme which ships separately from Drupal core.

Claro Theme Only#

These violations exist in Claro or Claro-Dark but not in Admin or Olivero. Issues here belong to Drupal core's Claro administration theme.

Admin and Claro (not Olivero)#

These violations appear in admin-facing themes (Gin and/or Claro) but not in Olivero (the front-end theme). This makes them administration UI issues rather than front-end concerns, and the most relevant for the Admin theme accessibility report.

7 selector/rule combinations found only in admin-facing themes.
