#64857: Connectors: Alignment and layout issue with RTL
--------------------------+--------------------
 Reporter:  gziolo        |      Owner:  (none)
     Type:  defect (bug)  |     Status:  new
 Priority:  normal        |  Milestone:  7.0
Component:  General       |    Version:  trunk
 Severity:  normal        |   Keywords:
  Focuses:  rtl           |
--------------------------+--------------------
 The new Connectors screen (`Settings > Connectors`) has two RTL-related
 layout issues, reported against beta5:

 1. **Admin menu layout breaks** when navigating to the Connectors page —
 double collapse arrows appear and spacing between menu items is visually
 broken.
 2. **Page heading is not `direction`-aware** — the "Connectors" heading
 remains left-aligned instead of flipping to the right in RTL locales.

 ### Steps to Reproduce

 1. Install WordPress 7.0-beta5 (or trunk).
 2. Switch the site language to an RTL locale (e.g., Central Kurdish —
 `ckb`).
 3. Navigate to **Settings → Connectors**.
 4. Observe the admin menu sidebar and the page heading alignment.

 ### Expected Behavior

 The admin menu should render identically to other settings sub-pages in
 RTL mode, and the page heading should respect `direction: rtl`.

 ### Actual Behavior

 The sidebar menu shows duplicate collapse arrows and inconsistent spacing.
 The page heading stays left-aligned.

 ### Screenshots & Video

 Visual references (before/after comparison and a video walkthrough) are
