This is due to the layout layout.
So, -webkit-margin-start looks like margin-left when the direction of the layout is left to right, but like margin-right when the direction is right to left.

In contexts where focus is important, user agent values ββfor these properties can be overridden. Where it does not matter, return to the standard field properties automatically.
