It appears that the RTL rule is set by each locale in `intl.css`, with style rules like this: https://hg.mozilla.org/l10n-central/fa/file/tip/toolkit/chrome/global/intl.css#l23

However Form Autofill subdialogs load XHTML files rather than XUL, so the direction rule does not apply to them. I think a simple way to get around this is to manually apply the parent element's direction attribute to the subdialog documents. Wonder what your thoughts are with this approach?

Thanks!

Try using the &locale.dir; entity:
https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/search?q=locale.dir
<!ENTITY % globalDTD SYSTEM "chrome://global/locale/global.dtd">
   %globalDTD;
https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/dom/locales/en-US/chrome/global.dtd#5

Hi Itiel, we just landed this bug. Can you help to verify if the layout is correct now ? Thank you.

There indeed is a change, but some buttons and text (the table's labels) are hidden.
I think that the list of items should also be right aligned, but as I don't have internet access to add items in there, I can't be sure, so I'll check when I get back home.
See attached screenshots.

So the items list is indeed RTL, but the blue dotted outline (which shouldn't be there at all I guess, if no items are present), is still LTR.

Lauren, should we reopen here?

No, please file new bugs for issues which aren't already filed. We generally only re-open a FIXED bug if the code gets backed out but since it seems like the change made some improvements and didn't cause major regressions, follow-up bugs would be better.

Hi Itiel can you help to file this bug again and I will ni Scott in the new bug. Thank you.

Comment 21

[Scott Wu [:scottwu]]

Thanks Itiel, I'm looking into it. It doesn't seem to affect Mac and Linux, and on Windows it looks fine on en-US too. If HE has problems with it other locales might too.
