Description Adam Peller CLA 2011-05-23 17:30:36 EDT 
To work well in a RTL page, make sure to use top with a large negative offset to position elements off the screen and do not rely on left negative offsets, or you'll end up with a scrollbar and a very wide page.  There are several references to left:-1000px in editor.js
Comment 1 Felipe Heidrich CLA 2011-05-24 11:45:08 EDT 
Silenio, can you just change those elements to use top instead of left ?
Comment 2 Silenio Quarti CLA 2011-05-24 12:18:45 EDT 
Yes, that has the same effect for me and it should not cause BIDI problems.

Changing to a very large width is problematic because we never know how large it has to be.
