436635 - Menus do not update their layout when their direction is changed

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: XUL, defect)

Description

[Kai Liu]

Attachment: demonstration of the problem

When a menu item's direction is changed (LTR->RTL or vice-versa), the menu item's layout does not change (i.e., the .menu-left element still remains laid out on the left instead of moving to the right).

* If a menu has not been opened prior to the direction change, there is no problem.  This is only a problem if the menu item has already been laid out prior to the change.

* In some cases, such as the opening of a submenu, the layout gets updated and the problem corrects itself for that particular item.

The same problem is with Web Search: gray text

This was fixed in the range http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/pushloghtml?fromchange=8d52e3b68ca6&tochange=7b396ca54953, presumably by bug 581536
