Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout: Text and Fonts, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

When text size is increased on a page with Hebrew (or any other right-to-left
language, such as Arabic), the script is reversed to left-to-right.  It's like
reading, "The dog was blue," as, "eulb saw god ehT."  When the page is reloaded,
the error is resolved.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load page with right-to-left characters.
2. Resize, using ctrl + mouse wheel, or ctrl++.


Actual Results:  
Character order is reversed.

Expected Results:  
Resized the relevant text with no reversal.

Can you provide more detailed instructions on how to reproduce the bug? I can't
reproduce it on http://unbound.biola.edu. However, it may be a dupe of bug
297401, which I can reproduce.

This could also be a dupe of bug 248447, which is fixed in trunk.

Comment 3

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Is this an issue with a current build?

Comment 4

No response from reporter for 3 months and this is likely to be a dupe of one or other fixed bug, so marking WORKSFORME.
