New issue 5996 by laninva: Tooltip gets direction from Chrome langauge, not element (or even page) http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=5996 Chrome Version : 1.0.154.36 URLs (if applicable) : Other browsers tested: IE7, Firefox 3, Safari 3.2.1 Add OK or FAIL after other browsers where you have tested this issue: Safari 3: FAIL Firefox 3: OK IE 7: OK What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Create and open a page with the following source: <html><body> <span dir=rtl style="background-color:Red" title="שלום!">Hover here!</span> <span style="background-color:Blue" title="Hi!">And now here!</span> </body></html> 2. Hover over the red span. With Chrome's language set to English, the tooltip reads (visually) "שלום!". With Chrome's language set to Hebrew, the tooltip reads (visually) "!שלום" (which is what you want to be). 3. Hover over the blue span. With Chrome's language set to English, the tooltip reads (visually) "Hi!". With Chrome's language set to Hebrew, the tooltip reads (visually) "!Hi". What is the expected result? The directionality for the tooltip should be taken from the element on which it is declared, as is the case in IE7 and FF3. Arguably - but less usefully - it could also be taken from the page's directionality (body element). Taking it from the browser's language, as is the case currently, is useless. What happens instead? The tooltip's directionality is taken from the browser language. This results in English tooltips being garbled in a Hebrew Chrome and Hebrew tooltips being garbled in an English Chrome. There is no workaround. Using Unicode BiDi formatting characters (LRE, RLE, PDF) in the tooltip text only works if Windows is configured to have complex script support, which is not the case for the vast majority of machines. Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if possible.
