Bug 1543828 Comment 0 Edit History

Note: The actual edited comment in the bug view page will always show the original commenter’s name and original timestamp.

This is a regression, but as this is reproducible on RTL locales only and Mozregression doesn't provide an option to bisect with a specific language, I can't provide the exact regression window.

STR:
1. Run an RTL'd version of Nightly (Hebrew, Arabic etc). Setting intl.uidirection to 1 won't matter here -- you need an actual RTL build
2. Open http://dl3.webmfiles.org/elephants-dream.webm
3. Right after the video starts playing, reload the page
4. Observe the error message text

AR:
See attached. The letters are reversed and written as:
הקספוה ואדיוו תניעט
Completely unreadable.

ER:
The text should be:
טעינת הווידאו הופסקה

Note that this is different from bug 955983 -- there, the directionality is LTR so the sentence is messed up a bit if LTR characters are present.
Here, the text itself is written the wrong way.

According to the screenshot, in English it'd be "deppots gnidaol oediV".
