Bug 224409 – initial horizontal scrollbar positions for RTL elements is wrong

• Component: Layout and Rendering
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Cameron McCormack (:heycam)]

Scrollable elements that place their vertical scrollbar on the left (e.g. when they're `direction: rtl` or when the OS language is RTL and the relevant setting to always follow OS scrollbar side is used) have an incorrect scroll origin, which leads to creating a horizontal scrollbar with an incorrect initial offset.  This is because RenderLayerScrollableArea::computeScrollDimensions runs prior to the scrollbars being created.

This is unconditionally called, even if the code above sets the origin to the same value it’s already set to. Should there be a check?

offsetDidChange() will do an almost equivalent check, when it recomputes its m_position based on the scroll offset, and avoid actually updating the thumb position.  So I figured it's not necessary.
