Hello list, I'm (painfully) aware of RTL text behaving badly in software in general, and especially in HTML documents styled with CSS in IE7. I'm also aware that changing text direction causes a new rendering context for IE.
What I was previously unaware of is hasLayout (the immediate effect being whether the box contains its children or they spill out all over the place) turning on and off intermittently. Scrolling, hovering over the element in question or selecting some of its text seem to toggle hasLayout (not reliably — sometimes I will struggle to reproduce the bug for a minute or so). The fact that all the troublesome elements have overflow: hidden and zoom: 1 takes affect at first, then breaks (I stress that this is without scripting or anything — this is simply the progressive rendering of the page and basic user interaction). This problem occurs exclusively in IE7. 6 & 8 are fine, so are the sane browsers. Reseting a hasLayout trigger via JavaScript or by using the DOM inspector works, but immediately breaks again when one of the intermittent triggers mentioned occurs. I am utterly at a loss. Any previous experience?
