Well, in this case we don't know whether the user-entered edit summary is LTR or RTL, do we? That seems to fit "when the direction of the text is truly unknown and no better server-side heuristic can be applied", unless we want MediaWiki to be hard-coding the same check the browser is supposed to do to output the dir="...". > Screenshot attached. Basically, dir="auto" makes Chrome treat any preceding > spacing in span.comment as if word-wrap: nowrap; is applied. In other words, Chrome has a bug. BTW, for anyone following along, the link for the comment in the screenshot appears to be https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Main_Page&offset=20120902180000&limit=1&action=history, if further testing is needed. A potentially more useful link is https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions/Gilderien&offset=20120605185300&target=Gilderien&limit=1 (from an earlier discussion at [[Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)/Archive 100#Anomalous Edit Summary]]), which has more spaces for Chrome to screw up on. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
