Comments
It will be a fairly big job to go through all uses of Side in the source base and decide which ones are affected by RTL. Adding a general comment in javadoc for javafx.geometry.Side does not seem helpful or appropriate.

Docs should be updated for all uses of Side.

OK. this happens in many cases, for example, side of menu, side of title and legend for chart. It's better to be summarized in doc to avoid confusion.

This is actually not a bug at all, but a result of the design of how RTL layout works. Instead of adding new values such as LEADING / TRAILING. it was decided to simply give Left / Right the opposite meanings when running in RTL. This needs to be documented better, so keeping this open as a doc bug for now.

This is not a bug yet, because the feature to support RTL in Labels RT-24221 is not yet implemented. :)
