61847 - My Sidebar should be dockable on the right side of window.

Status: NEW

(SeaMonkey :: Sidebar, enhancement)

Description

[Brian 'netdragon' Bober]

Not everyone wants the My Sidebar on the left side of the window. If the bar is 
undockable, it could be docked on the other side, making it better for some 
people (left handed? People who can't see out of their left eye? ). You should 
still be able to hide it the same way as before, just in the opposite direction.

Seems like a decent enough idea to me. Marking NEW so maybe someone will look at it.

I meant in a UI fashion. Not by editing some css file 90% of the people in the 
world won't be able to do.

Is there a similar bug for Firefox on this one? For a few days, this tip in userChrome.css (http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/tips#appearance) is not working anymore:

/* Place the sidebar on the right edge of the window  */
window > hbox {
   direction:rtl;
}
window > hbox > * {
   direction:ltr;
}

Any ideas as to why the userchrome.css entry no longer works?

Samir: still interested? If you are you can take this bug again. I'm resetting A+QA so if anyone is watching them they'll get bugmail and maybe answer comment #14 at last.
