Comment #1 on issue 7763 by [email protected]: RTL: Problems on page
level... (scrollbar position, and truncation)
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=7763
Seems if browser should show scroll bar at left when there is right-to-left
direction
applied in the html or body tag is amphibious, Idan and Jeremy have
discussed this
before in issue 6113, w3c also left this issue as discussion, I am quoting
it now:
--------
Discussion: Note that in Internet Explorer, applying a right-to-left
direction in the
html or body tag will affect the user interface, too.
The scroll bar will appear to the left side of the window, and JavaScript
alert
message boxes such as the one shown on the slide will be mirror imaged (see
the
tests). (Note how the yellow icon on the slide appears on the right, and
the logical
order of the text, <arabic> W3C <hebrew>, is displayed from right to left.)
This
behavior does not occur in other browsers.
Some speakers of languages that use right-to-left scripts prefer the
directionality
of the user interface to be associated with the desktop environment, not
with the
content of a particular document. Because of this, they may prefer not to
declare the
document directionality on the html or body tag. To avoid this without
tagging every
block element in the document you could add a div element immediately
inside the body
element that surrounds all the other content in the document, and apply the
dir
attribute to that. The directionality will then be inherited by all other
block
elements in the body of the document, but will not set off the changes to
the
browser. If you do this, you must ensure that you add a dir attribute to
the head
element also, to cover its title element, attribute values, etc.
--------

Since issue 6113 has been closed now, I am leaving this bug as open for
further
confirming.
