ODK Collect - autoadvance gui fix

What is the general goal of the feature?
With left to right alphabets the autoadvance works great.
With right to left alphabets the autoadvance symbol covers the first three letters of each word.

Does anyone know if this feature could be updated to either appear on the left for right to left alphabets, or alternatively to just appear beside rather than on top of any text?
link to the widget on the odk docs below.

currently this feature is not used in many of our country programs for this reason and it could be a significant time saver in long forms.

Thanks for reporting, @noel! Since the desired behavior is clear, I've filed it directly as an issue at https://github.com/opendatakit/collect/issues/1849 and we'll try to get that in the next release.

Thanks to @vrjgamer, this is now fixed for text-based selects in Collect v1.13.0!

He is also working on some additional changes that will make media questions work better.
