User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; he-IL; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; he-IL; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624 when using a language pack of a RTL language, like hebrew or arabic, the UI is aligned left. when opening the mailing lists editor, the addresses in it are also aligned right, although email addresses are in latin charactes. see bug 157607 comment 5 for discussion on the addresses in the message compose window, where there is a similar type of data. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.aligning the interface to the right: add these lines to the file intl.css, in the locale\en-US\global, in the en-US.jar file (the language pack file, in the chrome folder): /*make UI RTL */ window,dialog,wizard,page { direction: rtl; } menu { direction: rtl; } outliner { direction: rtl; } /* * make sure search from address bar remains in RTL */ #urlbar .autocomplete-search-engine { direction: rtl !important; } /* * keep Composer <HTML> Source tab LTR */ #content-source, #doctype-text { direction: ltr; } 2. make sure you have a mailing list in the address bar 3. double click a mailing list, or select it and click the "properties" botton. Actual Results: all addresses are aligned right Expected Results: addresses should be aligned left like in bug 157607, the css class uri-element should be added to the proper xul file to fix this.

This patch aligns the addresses on the mailing list dialog left even when rtl is selected (applies to both suite & tb). Tested using the steps in comment 0. I checked the new/edit card dialogs and they seem to have been done at some earlier stage. Tsahi: thanks for the useful testing info.
