100082 - Contents left-aligned while block is right-aligned on a DIR=RTL page

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 131023

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Ilya Konstantinov]

On a DIR=RTL (Right-to-Left page directionality) page, the contents of the
block, which itself is right-aligned, are left-aligned (thus, outside of the block).

The attached testcase demonstrates it best.

Perhaps related to bug 64510, although probably not.

Another hint might be in the fact that the text after a <p> would fit correctly
in the rectangle. e.g.:

<div style="width:200px">
This text will be outside the rectangle (as the testcase exhibits).
<p>
This text will be correctly inside the rectangle (as if there's no bug).
</div>

Confirming issue with the Sept 19th build.

This ugly layouting bug still remains in latest nightly. Is it likely to travel
into 1.0?

this is still there in my 2002061603 OSX build

Apparently it travelled into 1.2. I'm still forced to include a DIV inside a DIV
in my RTL pages. I doubt many other webmasters would go as far as learning such
quirky workarounds.

This is fixed by my patch on bug 131023.

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