vertical layout test case.

1. Open the document vertical-layout.html (attached)
```
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" style="writing-mode: vertical-rl;">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Testing vertical layout in Web Inspector</title>
</head>
<body>
    <p>This is a vertical text.</p>
</body>
</html>
```

2. Open Web Inspector, go to the console and type:
   document.querySelector('html').style.writingMode = ''

Expected:
The layout change back to a default writing mode, horizontal-lr

Actual:
The layout doesn't change.
