I don't understand what the problem is, the text says "horizontal writing mode". I can't read it otherwise. If that's not enough for whatever reasons, what about instead the CSS UI spec defines cursors against the orientation of baseline? /koji On Mon, Dec 1, 2014 at 6:13 PM, Florian Rivoal <florian@rivoal.net> wrote: > >> On 01 Dec 2014, at 05:02, Koji Ishii <kojiishi@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> >> On Nov 26, 2014, at 10:03 PM, Florian Rivoal <florian@rivoal.net> wrote: >> >>> However, in a run of Tate-chuu-yoko (as triggered by 'text-combine-upright’), I would expect a ‘text’ cursor. As far as I can tell, [css-writing-modes] does not say anything about what the writing mode of a run of tate-chuu-yoko is. If that’s considered horizontal, it would be good to make that explicit, and if that’s considered vertical, we either need a new term to refer to from [css3-ui], or we need to single out this case. >> >> 9.1.2, Layout Rules[1] says this: >> >>> the glyphs of the combined text are composed horizontally (ignoring letter-spacing and any forced line breaks, but using the specified font settings), similar to the contents of an inline-box with a horizontal writing mode and a line-height of 1em. >> >> Is this explicit enough? >> >> [1] http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-writing-modes/#text-combine-layout > > It is explicit enough to know what is happening in a combined text area, but I don’t think it gives me a word which means “horizontal in a horizontal writing mode and in a text-combine area inside a vertical writing mode, and vertical in other areas of a vertical writing mode”. > > What I am looking for is not an explanation of the behaviour (which we have), but vocabulary to refer to it. > > - Florian
