User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312

When dir is set to RTL and a table horizontally overflows, Mozilla doesn't load
the page from Right to Left as it should.
It loads it from left to right, so user has to scroll to see content on right side.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a page with a table that horizontally overflows and dir set to RTL.
2.Load the page.


Actual Results:  
You see that page starts horizontally form left to right.

Expected Results:  
You should view the page starting from right to left.

Seeing this on OS X => All/All

Attachment: simpler testcase

Similar testcase, with just a single cell, with long, unbreakable, content.

Please note that dbaron's proposed patch for bug 192767 causes the horizontal scrollbar to disappear from the testcases affected by this bug, so it would be desirable to fix this bug for the same release as the one bug 192767 is fixed for.

Specifying a (correct) width for the table fixes the problem, indicating that this is an "intristic width" issue. So, I'm putting [reflow-refactor] on the status whiteboard, in hope that bug 300030 will fix this.

This looks like it will be fixed by the patch on bug 96394.

Fixed on trunk by checkin of bug 96394.

Mass-assigning the new rtl keyword to RTL-related (see bug 349193).
