Reproduce the RTL topic-link problem using the attached GIF, then inspect the topic link and its before pseudo-element positioning. Done means the full visible link is clickable and navigates normally in RTL languages.

Description

There is a UX problem When clicking on topic links in RTL languages. It's impossible to click and navigate unless you move the mouse cursor to the link's margin which I think is a bad user experience.
I have uploaded a GIF to show the problem.

As I inspected it, it seems like the before pseudo element's position is not handled correctly.
I can make a PR to fix it.
