Bug ID: 46947
Summary: Vector shouldn't reverse the order of horizontal nav
elements in HTML and then prevent flipping in CSS
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.21-git
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Skin and page rendering

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Vector first reverses the order of horizontal nav elements in HTML and then
prevents flipping of float:left rules in CSS to make the interface looks the
same in LTR and RTL environments.
Similar craziness is done to the search form - the input and the button are
rendered in different order in LTR and RTL.
This causes e.g. bug 34587.
Vector.php:
// Reverse horizontally rendered navigation elements
if ( $this->data['rtl'] ) {
$this->data['view_urls'] =
array_reverse( $this->data['view_urls'] );
$this->data['namespace_urls'] =
array_reverse( $this->data['namespace_urls'] );
$this->data['personal_urls'] =
array_reverse( $this->data['personal_urls'] );
}
...
// If there's a series of elements, reverse them when in RTL mode
} elseif ( $this->data['rtl'] ) {
$elements = array_reverse( $elements );
}
... etc
vector/screen.css:
/* @noflip */
div.vectorTabs {
float: left;
height: 2.5em;
}
...
/* @noflip */
div.vectorTabs ul {
float: left;
}
... etc
Why would anyone do that is just mind-boggling to me. I assume it's a
workaround for some IE6 bugs.
