[regression] tooltips misplaced in Firefox in RTL

[Douglas Hays]

Starting with [23866], tooltips for Firefox in RTL seem to be hugely misplaced. This affects 1.6 and 1.7. Run
dijit/tests/form/test_validate.html?dir=rtl
in Firefox 3.6 and enter something invalid in the elevation field.

Fix placement of popups on firefox in RTL mode, fixes #13636 !strict.

Good catch, looks like firefox has issues setting style="right: 123" if you don't explicitly set left: auto. I checked in a workaround.

Although IE is working perfectly, chrome / safari / FF misalign each drop down by about 20px. I thought it was the scrollbar being on the right instead of the left, but I checked and the problem is also happening on opera on a real RTL machine, were the scrollbar is on the left. So, better than before but still not perfect.

Bill,

For this any workaround possible in dojo 1.6 ? Thanks, Mahesh

I can't think of a workaround, I'd suggest just getting the latest code from the 1.6 branch, or at least place.js.
