The following tag:
<marquee behavior=scroll>
does not cause the text to scroll between the edges.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
see Additional Information for an HTML testcase

Actual Results:  
The text scrolls until it is all visible, but no more. It does not keep moving
to the other edge, but it repeats every while.

Expected Results:  
Scroll the text to the other edge (see similar behavior in IE6.0)

<html dir=rtl>
<body>
<marquee behavior=scroll direction=right>

Can you try this page:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=100151&action=view

That page worked for me with Mozilla 1.8a5 build 2004110905 and Firefox 1.0
final release rv: 1.7.5 build 20041107 under XP Pro SP2.

If that still does not work, then create (and attach) a testcase with the HTML
code you provided (and try with <marquee loop="5" behavior="scroll"
direction="right">).

Hmm, this used to work I think.

    
    

    
  
The testcase doesn't work for me in Mozilla1.0, Mozilla1.4 nor in Mozilla1.7.
Depends on: 299250

    
    

    
  
I think there is a bidi issue going on here, I've filed bug 299250 for that.
Margin-left on a xul:hbox in a rtl div never gets applied seems like it, so the
scrollwidth of the div is far too small to scroll.

There is a patch in bug 277208 that could fix this bug.

    
    

    
  
I think the testcase has improved/almost fixed by the patch from bug 277208, but
it seems like I can see a little bit of the text at the beginning just a bit too
soon when a new loop starts.

Ok, this testcase doesn't work in 2005-10-19 trunk build, but it will work with
2005-10-20 trunk build.
I believe this is the same issue as I mentioned in comment 6.
So I think this is now completely fixed by bug 219052.
