[i18n] Edge bug: transform-origin does not work as expected for RTL divs

[sibnerian]

Hi Edge folks,

I hope this is the right place to leave a bug report. If it is not, please direct me to the right place.

IE Edge has inconsistent behavior compared to Chrome/Firefox when transforms are applied to divs with css direction: rtl.

Here is a minimal example: https://codepen.io/sibneriangoog/pen/QWNKwpy

In Chrome, the interior div is displayed in the top right corner.

In Edge, the transform is applied from the opposite side and it is displayed with an offset.

Hi there, you are welcome to the Microsoft Edge Insider Community Hub!

Thanks for reporting the issue here. I would recommend you to send feedback about this bug through the in-app feedback tool in Microsoft Edge (Alt+Shift+I) with the diagnostics attached in order to help the Microsoft Edge dev team to resolve your issue as soon as possible.

Just tried to submit feedback. Unfortunately, I can't do so since I'm on a machine with enterprise provisioning that prevents sharing any diagnostic details or other tracking information.

If you'd kindly help me by submitting a feedback on my behalf with the original details provided (including a minimal reproduction for the issue!), I would appreciate it. If that's not possible, I can try to escalate the diagnostics data permissions with my IT department, but I'm not optimistic about that.

I can do it but I am new to Web Developing so I am not understanding your issue, Sorry.

Tagging @Deleted, our community manager and @johnjansen, Engineer working on Microsoft Edge who I think can help you

@sibnerian 

FWIW, I can't reproduce this using your pen, which means I get something resembling your Chrome image, not your Edge one. But then, I don't really know what I'm looking for.

Since you can't submit feedback, you should be able open a ticket here: Submit a request – Microsoft Edge Insider Support.

@TheShaunSaw thanks for tagging me. @sibnerian I believe you are talking about the old Edge browser, not the new one, is that correct?

@johnjansen there's a decent chance this is the "old" edge browser (before Chromium edge). That'd explain why it's not reproducible for Noel, but I can consistently repro.

Here's the version number:

Microsoft Edge 44.18362.449.0

Microsoft EdgeHTML 18.18362

@sibnerian yes, that's the old Edge browser. I'll make sure this is logged there, but to set expectations: we are not planning on doing bug fixes in the old Edge engine.

@johnjansen reasonable, I'll make sure our workaround is applied only to pre-Chromium Edge. Glad it's WAI in the latest version.

Thanks!
