Just a note to the dedicated RTL testers. After a lot of thought I decided to for the most part suspend for now development of fixes for Mozilla/Netscape problems with RTL. While I use Mozilla as my main browser and love it, it has problems in rendering certain RTL layouts. Have a look at the bug list at mozilla.org for RTL issues. Many of the bugs have been open and unresolved for a long time (over a year in some cases). From the developer notes on the bugs it seems like some of them are not trivial to fix. It is true that some of the bugs might be caused by our html/css, many are not and putting developer cycles to try to fix them is not an option right now. In some cases the pages can be redesigned to avoid some issues but that also will not be done at this point unless it is key functionality that is broken. Not many of the RTL issues impact the key functionality of PGV but we will attempt to correct Mozilla bugs such as https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=886562&group_id=55456&atid=477079
) that I believe impact core functionality.
