478377 - Support specifying direction for :-moz-tree-cell pseudo class through CSS

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: XUL, defect)

Description

[(no longer active)]

Currently, if a tree body frame is RTL, it shows all its cells in RTL (the same goes for LTR).  Occasionally we need RTL data displayed in LTR trees (and vice versa).  I have a patch ready to add support for the CSS direction rule to the tree cells, which I will attach here together with a number of reftests.

+      if (aDirection == NS_STYLE_DIRECTION_INHERIT)
+        aDirection = aFrame->GetStyleVisibility()->mDirection;

{} around the statement

+  if (!((isRTL && aTextRTL) || (!isRTL && !aTextRTL)))

Can't this just be "isRTL != aTextRTL"?

+  if (isRTL != aTextRTL) {
+    direction = aTextRTL ? NS_STYLE_DIRECTION_RTL :
+                           NS_STYLE_DIRECTION_LTR;
+  }

Actually, why can't this be unconditional?

Hmmm, I think it can, because if direction is not set here, then nsLayoutUtils::DrawString will obtain the frame direction on its own, which is the same thing as |isRTL|.
