253717 - UL lists with RTL tags do not dislpay correctly inside TABLE elements

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 140611

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Dan A]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040614 Firefox/0.8
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040614 Firefox/0.8

See attached HTML file as example.

When putting a <UL dir=rtl> list inside a <TABLE> element, the list will not
display correctly. I figure it somehow depends on the length of text inside the
<LI> tags:
- If Text is long, only the first tag displays LTR, the rest will dispaly
correctly RTL
- If text is short, it will display LTR and not RTL, and the dot of the <LI>
will overlap the text.

In the attached file you can see both situations, and you can see both <UL>
elements display correctly when outside the <TABLE>

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. create <table> with 1 cell
2. put <UL> with dir=rtl inside that cell
3. add a few <LI> items
4. see how it displays in the browser.

Actual Results:  
<LI> tags did not display correctly, there was some overlap, and first tag (at
least) displays LTR instead of RTL.

Expected Results:  
All <LI> tags should display properly, not direction change, no overlap.

The testcase works in recent trunk builds.

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