It is impossible the page is LTR - firstly, the attribute "dir=rtl" is wrote in
the tag HTML, secondly, the attribute "direction: rtl;" is wrote in "rtl.css"
and in the dynamically-created CSS file "monobook.css", thirdly, Mozilla's DOM
Inspector says the "direction" is "rtl" in the HTML tag, fourthly, the text is
shown with "text-align: left", but with "direction: rtl", and finally, the whole
page is shown from the Right to Left.

However, I've checked the element "p" in one of the cells shown from the left,
and saw it is "text-align: left".

Shortly, the setting "text-align: left;" for #content in "commonPrint.css".
Please note there is NO setting like that in the regular style (which does not
set "text-align" at all), and that removing this setting fixes the problem AND
does not create any problem in the LTR pages.

I will try to create a patch shortly.

corrupted. I also don't know whether the file is up-to-date.

This patch would fix it.

I know. The patch which fixes it is yet not checked into the system.

The patch will be applied and the changes committed to CVS when:

1. A developer has time to review the patch
2. That developer determines that the patch works, and doesn't break anything else
3. The developer commits the patch

You won't notice the changes on Wikimedia's wikis until the MediaWiki software
is synchronised; again, another developer has to do this, and be confident that
nothing has been introduced to the CVS tree which could cause problems for the
project.

Patience is a virtue.

The "patch" seems to be an entire copy of commonPrint.css, from
some old version which removes a bunch of stuff that's in there
now. Quickly skimming a diff I don't see anything relevant to RTL.

Removing patch keywords since there is no patch.

Well, it is a very simple change: removing the line "text-align: left". That's
the change should be done. And I don't know where is the CVS, so I cannot update
the patch to change the CVS version (or something like that), but the only
change is removing this line. (By the way, the problem is not LTR but the align
to the left: you can see it in the linked page.)

Ahh, now I see. Thanks!

Fix applied on CVS HEAD and REL1_5.
You may need to force-reload style sheets to see the fix in place.
