367136 - XUL textbox padding smaller on the right (in RTL)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 463891

(Core :: XUL, defect)

Description

[Eyal Rozenberg]

I noticed that the left padding of a XUL textbox, which is in effect when the direction is set to LTR (dunno about what happens to the left padding in RTL) is wider than the right padding when the textbox is in RTL direction. I find the RTL right-padding insufficient.

BTW - problem seen with TB 1.5, also visible and somewhat worse with SM trunk from 2006-12.

Related to bug 326926 / bug 326123 / bug 365396?

we're talking 3-4px minimum, not 1px. Although bug 365396 may explain what I'm seeing on the trunk.

Attachment: testcase

I think this happens because of:
http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/toolkit/themes/winstripe/global/textbox.css#58
I think stuff needs to be changed to use -moz-padding-start and -moz-padding-end instead.

That sounds reasonable... but why not have this padding at the end as well?

I don't know, 4px padding seems a bit too much for me, personally. I think I would prefer it if xul:textboxes would have the same padding as html:inputs.

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