RTL Chosen Select causes the page to disappear

[demis-palma]

This fixes once again the problem explained in #7106 which has returned after #11779

@dgt41 was right. If we plan to further update the chosen codebase, we should move the hacks (if possible) into a different file.

Is this the same issue as #13861 reported by @PhilETaylor - sorry I cant test

[demis-palma]

To me it's a different problem. I have reproduced it on Widows with Google Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer. Opera browser is not affected.

[demis-palma]

@brianteeman you confirmed the issue the last time #7106 (comment)

[Saeedghb]

Thank you @demis-palma

I had the same problem with the front-end select lists in rtl mode.
The issue can be verified by choosing beez3 as default template in front-end.

This commit fixed my problem.

has this been solved in staging?

Hello,

It's work...

Apply the chzn-rtl class on your select
github.com/harvesthq/chosen/issues/1056#issuecomment-13942263

Chosen already supports right to left select boxes. just add chosen-rtl to your select tags:

@sinahaghparast
As I tested, neither class="chzn-rtl" nor class="chosen-select chosen-rtl" does not solve the problem with Joomla! 3.8.12 and beez3 template.

Did you test it with beez3 template?

[sinahaghparast]

when you load list form... Joomla load media/jui/css/chosen.css automaticly...
which template is not important...

in this file at line 368 you can see,
.chzn-rtl {
text-align: right;
}

We are together...

@sinahaghparast

Of course I can see the above mentioned code, but adding "chzn-rtl" class to select list does not solve the problem.

The problem is present with K2 filter module.
This commit does not solve the problem.

[brianteeman]

best to ask the makers of k2 for problems with k2

@brianteeman

This problem is not unique to K2. It is caused by a version of chozen used in Joomla!

[laoneo]

Does the issue still exists with the current Joomla 3 code base only (without K2)? If not then it got solved along the line since this pr was created.

[brianteeman]

Yes it still exists. Easy to test using the instructions from the linked issues

[brianteeman]

I have tested this item ✅ successfully on ed2cd13

forgot to add that the pr solves the issue

I'm aware that I'm late to this party beeing that old but why do we comment a CSS rule and not just remove it?

[laoneo]

I would also remove the comments.

[richard67]

@zero-24 @laoneo So shall we remove RTC and add the"Updates Requested" label? I worry the author could not be available anymore for making changes.

[zero-24]

Merging here thanks for the patience
