This is the test case html. <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <title>Gregarius</title> <style type="text/css"> h4 { display: inline; } </style> </head> <body> <h4> <a href="http://google.com" > &#1490;&#1512;&#1490;&#1512;&#1503;</a> <a href="http://firefang.net/blog/?p=44">&nbsp;&raquo;&nbsp; &#1502;&#1495;&#1513;&#1489;&#1493;&#1514;, &#1502;&#1495;&#1513;&#1489;&#1497;&#1501;, &#1493;&#1513;&#1488;&#1512; &#1491;&#1489;&#1512;&#1497; &#1489;&#1500;&#1506;.</a> </h4> </body> </html>
The document is declaring English as it's language and the text direction isn't set to 'rtl'. The following is vaild and will work properly: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//HE" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="he" dir="rtl"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <title>Gregarius</title> <style type="text/css"> h4 { display: inline; } </style> </head> <body> <h4> <a href="http://google.com" > &#1490;&#1512;&#1490;&#1512;&#1503;</a> <a href="http://firefang.net/blog/?p=44">&nbsp;&raquo;&nbsp; &#1502;&#1495;&#1513;&#1489;&#1493;&#1514;, &#1502;&#1495;&#1513;&#1489;&#1497;&#1501;, &#1493;&#1513;&#1488;&#1512; &#1491;&#1489;&#1512;&#1497; &#1489;&#1500;&#1506;.</a> </h4> </body> </html>

Ok.. this is a problem, as tihs code is from a web based n rss feed agregator, which can't be sure what is the language of its input, and will possibly need to handle mixed languages. any suggestions? Thanks.

why is it invalid that clicking on an <a> element does not go to its URL? (fwiw, as that document is HTML instead of XHTML, it does not declare english as its language. that xml: stuff is ignored)

the issue is the "." at the "end" of the line. gecko seems to decide on the fly which parts are rtl vs. ltr. The "." is ltr and goes at the end of the line but is part of the second link, so the second link spans the first one. Specifying rtl explicitly "fixes" it.
confirmed with CVS trunk build
