370839 - table properties tab control is truncated on the right when UI is RTL

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 368501

(SeaMonkey :: Composer, defect)

Description

[Tsahi Asher]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; he-IL; rv:1.8.1.2pre) Gecko/20070111 SeaMonkey/1.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; he-IL; rv:1.8.1.2pre) Gecko/20070111 SeaMonkey/1.1

when the interface is aligned to the right, e.g. when using a RTL
language (like hebrew or arabic), the tab control in table properties dialog is truncated on its right edge. it looks like the dialog window is not wide enough to hold the tabs.


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) or to your userChrome.css:

window,dialog,wizard,page {
  direction: rtl;
}

menu { direction: rtl; }

2. start seamonkey
3. in composer, create a table, right click it, and select table cell properties
Actual Results:  
table tab is truncated on the right

Expected Results:  
all the UI should be visible.

i think the solution should be either widening the dialog, or make its width controllable from the language pack, like some other dialogs.

a similar problem exists on hebrew TB 2.0b2 too.

Attachment: Screenshot of problem

Similar problem exists on localized LTR builds: the Table Properties dialog is being cut on the right side and cannot be resized.

Probably caused by bug 371194.

Was this fixed by bug 368501 ?

Mass-assigning the new rtl keyword to RTL-related (see bug 349193).
