See actual and expected results for details. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a file with the following HTML: <html dir="rtl"> <head> <title>HTML TextArea</title> <body> <form> <input type="radio">سعحثق ١٢٣ شسب Mozilla <br> <input type="checkbox"> Mozilla سشيب ٤٥٦ شسيب <br> 2. Open the HTML file with Mozilla. Actual Results: The LTR text 'Mozilla' will be mirrored improperly/appear on wrong side (the right) of the checkbox. Same problem with the radio button. Expected Results: What should display instead is 'Mozilla' (running left-to-right) on the left hand side of the checkbox and the Arabic text (running right-to-left) on the left hand side of 'Mozilla'. The checkbox should appear on the very rightmost part of the browser screen. The same applies to the radio button.

What is happening here is that the checkbox/radio button is participating in reordering along with the text, as if it were a neutral character. I'm not sure that this is in fact a bug. A workaround is to add a ‏ between the <input> and the left-to-right text.

(In reply to comment #1) > What is happening here is that the checkbox/radio button is participating in > reordering along with the text, as if it were a neutral character. I'm not sure > that this is in fact a bug. This really is a bug. Other HTML forms controls, including the TEXT and BUTTON type of the <input> control, all seem to inherit direction correctly. The <input> RADIO and CHECKBOX InputTypes do not for some reason. BTW, It might be yet a separate bug, but the RADIO and CHECKBOX <input> types don't respond correctly to explicit (not inherited) direction attributes, either. > A workaround is to add a ‏ between the <input> and the left-to-right text. Thanks for the workaround. However, we are trying to develop agent-independent HTML and use of the workaround would cause us to have more than one code path. We believe the right solution is that we ought to be able to depend on agents displaying HTML according to the prescribed inherited or explicit direction attribute behaviour.

Does the workaround have a negative effect on any other agents? The rendering on IE and Mozilla is identical. > We believe the right solution is that we ought to be able to depend on agents > displaying HTML according to the prescribed inherited or explicit direction > attribute behaviour. On further analysis I realize that the issue here is the <br>s rather than the checkboxes, and this is a duplicate of bug 150568. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 150568 ***
