266846 - Text in SELECT widgets with dir=rtl does not align to the right when opened

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

Description

[Shoshannah Forbes]

The objects in a SELECT drop-down list should be aligned to the right when it is
RTL.

They do not do that in Camino.

Attachment: Testcase open in camino-

Notice how the contents of the drop down list are aligned to the left (and the
edge of the list falls of the right part of the page)

Attachment: testcase in firefox

same testcase in firefox- notice how the contents of the drop-down list
correctly align to the right, and the list does not fall of the right edge of
the page.

This is with Firefox 1PR (Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O;

do other osx menus do this? we're just using a native menu.

Comment 6

[Shoshannah Forbes]

They are only half-broken in OSX itself- ALthough the OS doesn't really support
a RTL UI, at least when menus are RTL they do not "fall off" the right of the
parent like camino does (see screen shot of the "falling off" above).

related problems with rtl selects in bug 154632

dupe as far as fix is concerned?

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

This bug lies at rest in the graveyard.
