1155359 - nsTextBoxFrame doesn't layout RTL unless RTL characters are present

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: XUL, defect)

Description

[George Wright (:gw280) (needinfo me!)]

If you style a XUL label with "direction: rtl;", unless it contains RTL characters, it prematurely optimises away the bidi processing.

We should change it to also do bidi processing if the CSS style is set to RTL.

StyleContext()-> is redundant, remove it
