736726 - reftest bidi-003.html fails on android

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

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

Description

[Jonathan Kew [:jfkthame]]

Since bug 721719 landed on inbound, which added a few missing font prefs on android, the bidi-003 test seems to be failing due to a shift in positioning of the bold Hebrew word - at a guess, I wonder if the addition of extra Hebrew font prefs is affecting font selection for some of the inter-word spaces in the test.

I think this is an artifact of how the testcase and reference are constructed rather than a real problem, so I'm proposing to mark the test as failing on android for now, pending further investigation.

Many of the bidi-xxx tests are sensitive to default font choice (which they shouldn't be!).  See also bug 734313.

Can you attach a screen shot or link to a tinderbox log? I have come across some cases of overlapping rtl text in a current android nightly

These are running fine now. Test manifests were updated in bug 1251013.
