Vector on FF is broken on commons...when you switch your UI pref to an RTL language, the screen is borked
In what sense is it broken? I don't see anything obvious in http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/?uselang=ar&useskin=vector
(In reply to comment #1) > In what sense is it broken? > > I don't see anything obvious in > http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/?uselang=ar&useskin=vector I do. The bar with the edit and history tabs, the watch star, the action dropdown and the search bar move all the way down to the bottom of the screen. The left navigation bar appears on the right as intended, but the arrows to collapse/expand it appear on the left. Note, however, that this is not a software bug. uselang=ar is not SUPPOSED to change the page layout to RTL, see e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/?uselang=ar&useskin=vector (where all is well). Commons wants uselang=ar to have this behavior for its own reasons and uses a pile of CSS hacks to accomplish this. It's these site-specific hacks that cause Vector to totally break on Commons in RTL mode, so the Commons community should fix them. Breakage caused by local CSS so INVALID.
I'll do some cleanup on this later today.
There was a bug in the script for one, and the imports were somewhat broken on several browsers. Should work a bit better now. Though it seems that some custom work is still required here and there to fully support Vector.
