Description

[Jordan Yelloz]

when I look at tooltips in a right-to-left language, they display backwards.

Jordan, what build ID are you reporting this bug against? Can you provide an
example URL or a testcase?

In the future, please consider using the Bugzilla Helper at
[http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?format=guided] to report bugs.

tooltips are done by Cocoa in this case, and we haven't localized a build. This
is assuming you mean the tooltips in the chrome, right?

This is with build ID 2002081905.  It is within chrome.  Go to
http://phpmyadmin.sourceforge.net/phpMyAdmin/ and switch the language to
hebrew/arabic.  Leave the mouse over the table listing on the top of the left
frame.  The hebrew/arabic letters will be backwards.  Everything else works just
fine.

I don't understand *any* BiDi language, so I can't really say if the tooltips
are right or wrong and thus cannot confirm this.

saari: no, I figure he means those within the phpMyAdmin pages (through "title"
attributes). Change language to Hebrew and hover one of those tables on the left.

Attachment: this is how it looks in chimera... it is wrong

Comment 6

Attachment: this is how it looks in mozilla... correct, although the text isn't as nice as chimera.

this seems to work on build 2002091405 perfectly.  so does all hebrew page
titles (for me, at least).  they work in the tabs, too.
