RTL: menus looking wrong in all core themes

Project:Drupal core
Version:6.x-dev
Component:theme system
Category:bug report
Priority:normal
Assigned:Unassigned
Status:active

Issue Summary

See the screenshots and http://drupal.org/node/211885. Menus are looking wrong in all core themes if RTL mode is active.

Marking critical because RTL is a new and partly broken feature. I leave this to a core maintainer to reduce rank if RTL is not important for final.

I have tested with Firefox 2.0 only.

It's ugly but not critical.

#3

hass, could you checkout this issue?: http://drupal.org/node/203260

It won't fix it but it should improve the placement of the dividers. And the missing padding is specific to FF. Not sure of a workaround to that.

#4

I'd spent some time for this issue (padding+RTL+firefox).

There are few related links:

Maybe this may help.

So, the only fix is through javascript? I'm not sure we want to go there. FireFox 3 doesn't exhibit this problem so it's something we might want to skip.

#6

I agreed to this.
My suggestion here: we have to mention the issue in the documentation in section concerning "RTL support".
