I just noticed something that I do not recall encountering in L5, so I don't know if it is a L6 bug, a resource specific bug, or not a bug at all. 

In the BHS, BHS/WTS 4.0 Morph, BHS/WTS 4.2 Morph, BHS/WIVU, Lexham Hebrew Interlinear, & Parallel Aligned Heb/Aram/Greek  all have verse numbers using English numbers, but displaying them RTL, so that an English 10 is displayed 01, and an English 12 is displayed 21, etc. Some of these also display the chapter numerals similarly, while others have the chapter numerals LTR. 

Conversely The Lexham Hebrew Bible, BHW 4.18, & BHE SESB 2.0 all consistently display the verse and chapter numbers in LTR (10 is 10, 12 is 12 etc.) 

Does anybody know if this happened previously in L5? It seems to me that if we are going to use English numerals then it would also make sense to use English LTR when displaying them. The inconsistency between resources makes it seem to me that this is either an oversight or different electronic editors made different decisions on this.
