Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 306990

(Core :: XUL, defect)

Description

[Reuven Gonen]

when the interface direction is RTL, the text inside xul trees gets cut off.

to reproduce:

1. add the following code to the userChrome.css file (inside the chrome
directory under the user profile), in order to change the UI to RTL. 

window,dialog,page,wizard { direction: rtl !important; }

2. go to Help->Help contents. the text is cut off in the sidebar.

this can be reproduced in Thunderbird, by adding the above code to the
userChrome.css file inside the Thunderbird profile, and opening Tools->Account
Settings. 

tracking the dates, it seems the bug is a regression of Bug 212789

This is a duplicate of #306990, it's just more visible. In #306990 the scrollbar
on the right covers up the nasty looking junk. But the problem is the same.

The patch on #306990 fixes this. It it is in fact, a dup.

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