1180278 - In-content preferences tab needs adjustment for RTL layout

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Settings UI, defect)

Description

Attachment: Preferences dialog in he-IL locale (RTL)

In LTR about:preferences, the actual preferences area (white) are pressed up against the pane selectors (dark blue). In RTL, it should be the same, but it is not, it forces the preferences to be pressed against the left margin regardless of text direction and creating that space between them and the blue area, when they should be pressed against the pane selectors wherever they are, be it left or right.

Wasn't sure what product/component this belongs to. Gijs, you asked to needinfo you, perhaps you know that better than me.

I actually can't reproduce this by just setting the CSS's direction property to "rtl" on the XUL <page> document element of about:preferences...

Still can't reproduce this on he-IL beta with the app preferencs. Luís, can you?

Indeed, I can't reproduce it in beta either, guess it must have been fixed in the meantime. I had only tried release before because the language packs only work for release, so I usually use the he-IL language pack in release to test all things RTL related. Sorry about that, but I guess that means less work needed after all. ;)
