Bug 98563 – Form controls should always be horizontal

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Layout and Rendering

[Tony Chang]

WebKit doesn't support vertical controls yet.  It's a regression that we even try now.  The intent of the CSS in html.css is to force controls to horizontal-tb, but this must have been lost when switching from -webkit-block-flow to -webkit-writing-mode.

14:44 < tony^work> dhyatt: The user agent stylesheet (html.css) has some CSS 
                   that sets -webkit-block-flow: tb on form elements.  Should I 
                   just delete that code?
14:45 < dhyatt> oh actually it should turn into writing-mode
14:45 < dhyatt> patch rather than delete
14:45 < dhyatt> writing-mode should reset for form controls
14:45 < tony^work> The writing mode spec seems to suggest we should be able to 
                   support vertical controls
14:45 < dhyatt> just as many other props do
14:45 < dhyatt> yes, someday we might support vertical controls
14:46 < dhyatt> but until platforms have that support, we can't just mis-render
