Description

Thanks for your contributions and for supporting RTL!

We were testing rheostat slider and we encountered issues with RTL. (see gif below)

slider_rtl

Slider direction is flipped (opposite to the mouse movement direction)

relates to #235

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how the slider handles direction. Look at the component's handling of RTL and how the mouse movement maps to slider value. Review related issue #235 and the CSS direction properties. The bug may be due to incorrect calculation when dir='rtl'. Check the component's logic for updating position and consider mirroring the calculation for RTL.
