I have noticed for a while that there are spacing errors in the watchlist comments, often with the comment text moving to the right over the right parenthesis. I have traced this back to the following HTML source: <span dir="auto">...some comment...</span>. Having searched the docs for the dir attribute, I can only conclude that "auto" in *not* a valid value for this attribute. Removing it, or changing it to "ltr" does fix the issue.
