RTL related issue with Mozilla Firefox and Netscape: text and checkboxes get squeezed; implement workaround

Description

Author: gangleri

Description:
Hallo!

screen dump follows

The screen dump shows [[wiktionary:yi:special:Watchlist/edit]] viewed with
Mozilla Firefox, Netscape and Internet Explorer.

Internet Explorer shows a space between the checkboxes and the titles. If you
look at the watchlist with Mozilla Firefox or Netscape you will *not* see the space.

*note* This might be a browser related issue or might be fixed changing
Monobook.css .

This behavior can be experienced also at other RTL wikis. See
[[wikipedia:ar:special:Watchlist/edit]] etc.

from Uri:

This is almost certainly due to

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=121633. Margins
unfortunately don't work well on inline elements (such as the
checkbox) in RTL context.

The squeezing of chackboxes and text is a more general problem. Changed the
subject to reflect this.

compare the checkboxes using ?action=edit / &action=edit in
a) http://ur.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=test_foo_bar&action=edit
where both do *not* align properly
b) http://ar.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=test_foo_bar&action=edit
where
http://ar.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Minoredit&action=edit
( [[ar:MediaWiki:Watchthis?action=edit]] ) has a fix but
http://ar.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Watchthis&action=edit
has *none*
c) http://he.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=test_foo_bar&action=edit
where *both*
http://he.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Minoredit&action=edit
and
http://he.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Watchthis&action=edit
have a fix
d) http://he.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=test_foo_bar&action=edit
where *both*
http://he.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Minoredit&action=edit
and
http://he.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Watchthis&action=edit
have a fix but the seccond is different

It should be possible to fix all RTL type "special:Watchlist/edit" as
[[ar:special:Watchlist/edit]] ... [[wiktionary:yi:special:Watchlist/edit]] in a
similar fashion using heading and / or trailing

 ‫זײַט אױפֿפּאַס
