Simon's test case

Subject: Alignment of table headers and captions

I am working in the IBM Bidi for mozilla project, and have been testing
table alignment issues.

The attachment shows two copies of a table, one with dir=ltr and the
other with dir=rtl. Notice that the cells in the rtl table are left
aligned -- OK, that's bug #1802.

But the column headers and caption are aligned right, instead of center.
If I use a stylesheet with

hd {text-align: left;}
caption {text-align: left;}

they are aligned left on both tables, but text-align: center; is ignored
by the rtl table.

blocks are probably to blame for this. The following doesn't center align 
the text either. Reassigning to Kipp's bug list.

<body dir=rtl>
 <div style="border: 1px solid black; text-align:center">foo</div>
</body>

This bug has been marked "future" because the original netscape engineer working 
on this is over-burdened. If you feel this is an error, that you or another 
known resource will be working on this bug,or if it blocks your work in some way 
-- please attach your concern to the bug for reconsideration. 

Please note:  the folks who are interested in bidi may fix this as part of their 
work.  If so, we would be happy to fold that change back into the main branch, 
assuming it's safe, low impact, etc.  We'll deal with that when and if the time 
comes.

I wounder if this is fixed by the nsLineLayout.cpp changes in the IBMBIDI patch
on bug 62777?

I today's build, the headers of the tables are centered. I guess this was fixed 
during the Bidi landing.

    
    

    
  
This appears to be fixed and working with the testcase attached.
