I don't have a "Switch Page Direction" item in the context menu.

Comment 3

[Simon Montagu :smontagu]

"Switch Page Direction" appears in the context menu when bidi.browser.ui is set to true in about:config.

Attachment: non-interactive testcase

This version of Nir's testcase exhibits the bug on load without requiring bidi.browser.ui to be reset.

[Tomer Cohen :tomer]

I can reproduce this on Linux machines, while having <input type="text"> field overlapping the field size, and than switching text direction using ctrl-shift-x.
