1153445 - [RTL] Arabic icon labels are LTR and ellipsize on left

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::Homescreen, defect, P2)

Description

[Sam Foster [:sfoster] (he/him)]

STR: 
1. Visit an arabic language page in browser
2. Use ... menu to 'Add to home screen' (أضِف إلى الشاشة الرئيسية )
3. Confirm the title in the prompt
4. Tap 'home' button to return to the homescreen

Expected: 
The icon label is in arabic script and truncated from the left. 

Actual:
The icon label is in arabic script and truncated from the right. 

I've confirmed in the IDE that this .title element has direction:ltr, not rtl as expected.

Just adding dir="auto" to the title/label of the grid icons. Didnt see the value in a test for this markup change, but can whip up one (I guess marionette and getComputedStyle(..).direction check?) if you prefer. Also, this seems like the only spot where the change is needed, is that right?

The code looks good to me. I can't really think of a solid test for this, and it seems fairly easy to regress/bypass a getComputedStyle check. Feel free to add one if you want, though I wouldn't consider it a blocker to landing.

This issue is verified fixed on Flame Master and 2.2.

Result: The Arabic title of a webpage added to the homescreen is truncated on the left side correctly.
