dir="rtl"

The latest public weekly build of coming Kestrel has a function to set vertical scroll-bar left side of window. You can test it using reload from cache with your favourite web page.
Usually adding dir="rtl" at the top of HTML, something curious happens, as far as I test with my Japanese site, i.e. the Japanese periods are positioned left, while the other letters align right, as;

BTW, some use weekly builds as a main browser, but I still use 9.26 as main and 9.50 just to launch for testing purposes.

Make your DragonflyWebKit seems to focus on Acid 3

I am using 9.5 betas for everything, mostly because of the Opera Link feature, which I'm addicted to already. I think I will keep my scrollbar on the right, but noticed that it does dance around when visiting arabic sites on Wikipedia.

Yeah, I use 9.26 as my main browser too. I know that some people like to live on the bleeding edge, but I'm fine with having a separate installation (well, actually several) just for testing.

By the way, you can set Opera to always place scrollbars to the left with opera:config#UserPrefs|Left-handedUI.

Thanks for the comments.
@Helmers I can't read Arabic nor Hebrew unfortunately. I should have taken those classes when I was in Uni. Both are becoming important more and more.
