1108071 - run existing reftests with vertical writing mode

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: Layout: Block and Inline, defect)

Description

[Jonathan Kew [:jfkthame]]

Many of our existing reftests and crashtests should be able to run with vertical writing mode set on the root document element; we should do this, to flush out cases where vertical mode causes unexpected breakage.

Jonathan, any progress here? Are these tests failing on mozilla-aurora or are they not enabled?

Comment 2

[Jonathan Kew [:jfkthame]]

After some consideration/experiments, I don't think this is something we're going to try and do in automation; we're creating new tests as we go to cover the new functionality. Applying vertical mode "en masse" to existing tests, as suggested here, is more useful as a local tool to flush out issues that can then be isolated and filed as specific bugs.

Comment 3

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert]]

Let's just WONTFIX this bug, then, per comment 2.

(This is the only open dependency of meta bug 1099032 ("enable CSS writing-mode support in developer channels") -- which has already shipped, so it's probably not open to keep this as an open dependency. :))
