Description Dov P 2007-12-19 10:24:42 PST 
Users with BIDI UI will see drop-down menus, left align on new Safari3.

Steps: (using couple of Google Live products an one none-Google)

Ex1: (see PIC)
1. Launch your Gmail account \ Settings \ UI = Hebrew or Arabic \ Save
2. Press Settings again \ POP Tab \ See Drop-Down

Ex2: (see PIC)
1. Launch www.google.co.il \ Press the link for Advertising products \ Press AdWords
(You should get to this link in Hebrew: https://adwords.google.com/select/Login)
2. Press Join now \ Select Standard Edition (The second option) \ Continue
3. See the Drop-down in the first step

Ex3: (From a different company)
Open Nana shopping site \ See Search drop-down
http://www.nanashops.co.il/

Observe:
In all samples - The drop-down will show content left align with Scroll bar on the right

Expected:
Like IE6,7 and FF2 to have Right align, Right Reading order with Scroll-bar on the left

Notes:
This concern happens in all BIDI sites with Drop-down and with products by different companies. It is consistent. 

Repro on Safari3 over PC and on MAc Lepord

Comment 3 mitz 2007-12-19 10:34:36 PST 
This bug covers two separate controls: pop-up menus and list boxes. In both cases text is left-aligned (Windows actually had right-aligned text for a while and was changed to match the Mac).
Comment 4 Dov P 2007-12-19 10:53:30 PST 
Rerpo with none-Google products. See Ex3.
Repro also on Apple Lepord (not a Windows bug)...
even on a MAC Drop-down are ok for FF2 but not on the Safari

Repro with List box and other Drop-Downs items. 
(Did nto see it in Pop-ups)

Please re-open if you believe this is still a problem.
