313365 - Bidi: RTL textareas with a vertical scrollbar always have a horizontal scrollbar as well

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect)

Description

[Uri Bernstein]

When an RTL textarea has a vertical scrollbar (because the content has more
lines than the size of the textarea), a horizontal scrollbar appears as well,
even when there is no actual need for it.
The horizontal scrollbar allows scrolling a small amount (probably the width of
the vertical scrollbar) leftwards.

This has the same regression range as bug 306349, and like it, was probably
caused by the fix to bug 240276.

Combined with bug 312550, this can make working with RTL textareas a very
annoying experience.

Attachment: testcase

Notice the horizontal scrollbar on the top (RTL) textarea.

This bug is probably not related to MacOS, because I'm seeing this regression also on Windows XP with Fx 1.5b2.  Fx 1.0.7 displays the textareas correctly.

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