Temporary account icon not flipped in RTL for Vector 2010 in personal tools menu
Open, Needs TriagePublicBUG REPORT

Description

What is the problem?

Looking at the temporary account icon/avatar on Vector 2022 in the personal tools menu, I see the left half of it shaded, the opposite side to when looking at it in LTR.

LTR:

RTL:

ta_vector22.png (649×131 px, 10 KB)

This is not the case in Vector Legacy.

LTR:

ta_vector_ltr.png (586×96 px, 12 KB)

RTL:

So far, I haven't seen this happening in other places where the temporary account icon appears, but it seems possible.

[mediawiki/skins/Vector@master] T419012: Fix temporary account icon not flipped in RTL in Vector 2010

Reason:

As Job Robson said:
Ut seems minor and hopefully will never impact WMF production.

If this was a modern skin we'd be removing this CSS rule in favor of a Codex icon module which would be easier to maintain, and I'm wary of adding another SVG here that needs to be kept in sync with Codex releases.
