📔 Objective

This commit introduces a VisualTransformation to enforce Left-To-Right (LTR) text direction in password fields and other sensitive inputs. This ensures consistent layout and prevents rendering issues, particularly in Right-To-Left (RTL) locales where characters like asterisks might otherwise appear incorrectly aligned.

A CompoundVisualTransformation utility has also been added to allow chaining multiple VisualTransformations together.

Specific changes:

  • Created ForceLtrVisualTransformation to wrap text with LTR Unicode control characters.
  • Created CompoundVisualTransformation to combine multiple transformations, preserving correct offset mapping.
  • Applied forceLtrVisualTransformation to BitwardenPasswordField and BitwardenHiddenPasswordField, combining it with the existing PasswordVisualTransformation or nonLetterColorVisualTransformation.
  • Enforced LTR direction on generated passwords in the Password History screen.
  • Applied LTR transformation to sensitive fields in the "Identity" and "Login" item views, such as TOTP, URI, SSN, and passport number.
