391431 - Arabic text breaks text-wrapping.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert]]

Attachment: testcase

In this reduced test case, Arabic text prevents a line from wrapping correctly in a table cell.

Discovered on Google News, which has arabic text (and other types of text) in "display:none" elements all over the page.  Posting screenshot of bug in action on Google News soon.

*Steps to reproduce:
 1. Load testcase in trunk
 2. Resize window so blue cell is as wide as "[__MAKE_BLUE_BOX_THIS_WIDTH.__]"

*Expected results: 
  "This long section of text etc." should get wrapped

*Observed results:
  It's not wrapped, and instead it overflows into the yellow cell.

If putting in an Arabic character triggers this, it's likely a bug in the BiDi code.

A regression window would be nice.

First testcase was fixed by checkin for bug 385270.
Second testcase seems to have been fixed before that checkin -- not sure where.

I found similar (or remaining) bug. See bug 397985.
