when the interface is aligned to the right, e.g. when using a RTL
language (like hebrew or arabic), in the newsgroup properties dialog, the name:
field is also aligned to the right, although the group's name is always in latin
characters. this field should remain LTR even when the UI is RTL
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.aligning the interface to the right: add these lines to the file intl.css, in
the locale\en-US\global, in the en-US.jar file (the language pack file, in the
chrome folder):
/*make UI RTL */
window,dialog,wizard,page { direction: rtl; }
menu { direction: rtl; }
outliner { direction: rtl; }
/*
* make sure search from address bar remains in RTL
*/
#urlbar .autocomplete-search-engine
{
direction: rtl !important;
}
/*
* keep Composer <HTML> Source tab LTR
*/
#content-source,
#doctype-text { direction: ltr; }
2.start mozilla.
3. select a newsgroup
4. right-click on the group and select properties, or select newsgroup
properties from the edit menu.
5. see name: field
Actual Results:
field should be aligned to the left
Expected Results:
field is aligned to the right
a similar problem with most fields that contain URLs was fixed by smontagu in
bug 157607. i believe what needs to be done is assigning the css class that
solved that bug to this field.

Also, the db for entering the password should stay LTR when the UI is Hebrew
(this is related to bug #222932 )

on the other hand, the same dialog box is used for the email folders'
properties, that are localized. the solution here might be complex. maybe detect
wether we are looking on a mail folder or a newsgroup before we set the
directionality for the field, if that's possible.
