Matt Wringe commented on GTNPORTAL-3230:
----------------------------------------

Branch with fix available at https://github.com/mwringe/gatein-portal/tree/GTNPORTAL-3230 also include similar issues with other mobile components.

It would be good if Lucas can look this over and confirm it wont mess up any 508 compliance issues.

> The 508 changes to "hide" content off to a negative left position is incorrect when handling rtl languages. For rtl languages it should be placed at a negative right position instead.
> With older android browsers there is an issue where it expect a _positive_ right position for this hack to work. A work around will have to be done to deal with this situation.
> Without these changes it causes the browser to render the page as it if is extremely wide(10 000px). Some browsers cannot handle this and it causes strange behaviours such as links no longer functioning.
