New issue 5942 by jer...@chromium.org: news.walla.co.il: Hebrew text layed  
out mirrored
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=5942

URL: http://news.walla.co.il/?w=/93/1363831
Webkit bug: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22014

Other Browsers:
IE6: OK
FF3: OK

Problem description:
In Chrome, the text of the main article body is displayed mirrored.

Discussion:

The underlying issue is that they are serving different versions of their
webpage for each browser. In this case saving the page source served to FF
& IE and loading it into Chrome works fine.

When accessed from Safari and Opera they are outputting the problematic
text in visual order, both FF & IE6 get the text in logical order wrapped
in a <span dir=rtl>.

My guess is that if a browser isn't identified by them as FF or IE they
assume that it can't display logical Hebrew and output the main article
text in visual order.
