58622 - using DIR=RTL on INPUT TYPE=FILE makes control unusable

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 118509

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect, P4)

Description

[Brian Wilson]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.7 [en] (WinNT; I)
BuildID:    20001031

using DIR=RTL on INPUT TYPE=FILE makes control unusable

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Look at this code in Mozilla:
   <form>
   <input type="file" name="foo" value="foo" dir="rtl">
   </form>
2. Try to use the INPUT TYPE=FILE field


Actual Results:  Control is unusable

Expected Results:  Control should be as usable as it is when DIR=LTR

this behavior does not seem to happen for any other form fields I tred if I use 
dir=rtl.

I see the problem on linux trunk build 2000110308.

It looks like the control can pick up focus and get input, but the display is
broken...

If I add a submit button to the control form, type in the control, and hit
"Submit", the form will submit with the proper value of the form element...

But there is no way to use the file browser.

I suggest changing the summary to "using DIR=RTL on INPUT TYPE=FILE makes file
browser unusable and breaks display of the input"

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