There was a [change in Anki default behavior when determining which text direction to use, left-to-right or right-to-left](https://forums.ankiweb.net/t/anki-26-05-beta-2/69913/6). As I understand it, the old behavior was based on UI language setting, while the new behavior depends on the first character of the first field of the Note.

In your example Note the first character of the first field is a Hebrew character, and I believe that Hebrew is written right-to-left.
