382175 - With new textframe, RTL text inside a table is displayed LTR (on Mac)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Graphics, defect)

Description

[Uri Bernstein]

Attachment: testcase

With the build from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/experimental/textframe/2007-05-27-04-trunk/

Any RTL text inside a table seems to be displayed reversed (i.e., LTR).

In the attached testcase, the first Hebrew word is inside a table, and is reversed.

I'm pretty sure this is because we build the textrun when the table asks for our preferred size, but bidi resolution hasn't happened yet (bug 365130). We tell the textrun that it's LTR, because the frame doesn't know it's RTL yet ... and then we use that textrun for everything. So I'm pretty sure this is basically a duplicate of 365130.

Yeah, you're right. I told Uri I wasn't seeing this, but I forgot the little details that my own builds have the patch for bug 365130! When I reverse it, the bug appears.

This is fixed now that Simon checked in a fix for 365130.

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