when using a RTL language pack (e.g. hebrew or arabic), and the interface is
aligned right, the text in the download progress window doesn't fit in the
window. when the download starts it looks ok, but withing a second the right
side of the text goes out of the window.
i'm not sure if this is related to bug 140636 or bug 140577, or simply a problem
of the text being simply too long to fit the window, in which case the localizer
needs a control on the window's width, like we have in the prefs panel and in
other places.
this is actually something i noted a long time ago, but didn't report yet
because i waited for the bugs above to be fixed, but i don't see that much
progress is made on them. also, this could be a dupe, but i couldn't find a
similar bug.

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.in prefs>navigator>downloads, select "open progress dialog/box"
4.download a file from a site

Actual Results:  
the right end of the text (the start of the line) is out of the window and can't
bee seen. consequently, the Cancel button is also half seen and half out of the
window

Expected Results:  
text should fit in the window.

i think the problem here is that the "status:" line is longer in hebrew (in my
translation) than in english. maybe someone here has the time to play with this
and see.

if this is indeed the problem, then the width value of this dialog should move
to the language pack, like in some other windows (like the prefs panel).

    
    

    
  
Continues in 1.8a. Even when confirming filename, OK and CANCEL buttons run out
of frame.

    
    

    
  
you mean 1.7a?

> you mean 1.7a?

No, the newest nightly build is 1.8a. And it also occurs in English. I'm running
this on a Dell Lattitude D600 laptop running 1400 x 1050 resolution. I'm
consistently having the same issue.
