Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 192919

(Core :: Layout: Text and Fonts, defect)

Description

[Dotan Dimet]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030210
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030210

If a logical Hebrew page (charset ISO-8859-8-i) has a CSS property text-align:
justify set on the BODY, AND it has text-align: center set on a div, it will
display the text of that div as reversed (visual) text.
This also happens if the div has an align=center property.
This bug appears in 1.3beta builds (not noticed in previous builds).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create HTML page, with character set: ISO-8859-8-i
2. Enter text in logical order.
3. Add style "text-align: justify" to Body, via inline style rule, external
style sheet or javascript.
4. Add style "text-align: center" (or attribute align=center) to div inside the
document containing logical Hebrew text.

Actual Results:  
BiDi text inside the centered DIV is reversed.
The entire line of text is reversed: .abc def, ghi becomes .ihg ,fed cba

Expected Results:  
Keep the direction of the logical BiDi text the same in any combination of
text-alignment of body and nested elements.
