Just for the records, that's https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/gitweb?p=mediawiki/core.git;a=blob;f=skins/common/shared.css;hb=HEAD nowadays.

I'm not sure that I understand the example. "float right" here is just text. Did you mean to write it as CSS?

The ExpandTemplates page works correctly for me in an RTL wiki. The mw-content-rtl class is applied to the whole page.

What is the actual problem?

skins/common/shared.css contains:

/* @noflip */
.mw-content-ltr .magnify {

float: right;

}
/* @noflip */
.mw-content-rtl .magnify {

float: left;

}

class="magnify" should either be float:left or float:right. The text "float right" was just a dummy.

Better test case:
<div class="magnify">magnify</div>Text

should look like
<div style="float: right;">magnify</div>Text
on LTR page content language

and

should look like
<div style="float: left;">magnify</div>Text
on RTL page content language.

Actual result:
<div>magnify</div>Text
without float.

Oh, I get it now. Thanks for the clarification.
