File per dbaron's comment in https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D17551#466846,

Though in the longer term, I think it would probably make more sense for this code to know which continuations were created as a result of bidi resolution and only mess with those; that gives us more flexibility to use fixed continuations for things other than bidi. This code is essentially assuming that bidi is the only user of fixed continuations, and I don't think that's fair. You're fixing it by keeping things separated, but not really fixing what I see as the underlying problem.

The background story is that column-span:all splits nsColumnSetFrames into several fragments, and they're linked together by non-fluid (fixed) continuations, which previously are only created by the results of bidi resolutions. So bidi utils aren't aware of that, and mess with them.

My patches in Bug 1520722 are regards as short term workaround. Depend on the out come of the solution in this bug, we may be able to revert bug 1520722 without any regression.

This reverts the modification to nsBidiPresUtils.cpp in Bug 1520722 Part
2, but keeps the test added. Next part will fix the problem in a proper
way.

The idea is to check IsBidiSplittable() in more places to prevent fixed
continuations created by column-span from becoming fluid ones.

Depends on D34092

Does this also fix the testcase from bug 1554824, by any chance?

Sadly, no. It's a different issue. I'm still seeking a solution to the bug.

OK, thanks for checking.
