Hi, Current specification for position relative takes into account text direction for horizontally over-constrained elements: "If neither '|left| <http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-position/#left>' nor '|right| <http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-position/#right>' is '|auto|', the position is over-constrained, and one of them has to be ignored. If the '|direction|' property of the containing block <http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-position/#containing-block0> is '|ltr|', the value of '|left| <http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-position/#left>' wins and '|right| <http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-position/#right>' becomes -'|left| <http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-position/#left>'. If '|direction|' of the containing block is '|rtl|', '|right| <http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-position/#right>' wins and '|left| <http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-position/#left>' is ignored." Sticky positioning behavior is implemented similar to relative positioning and also ignores right or left edge offset on base of text direction for horizontally over-constrained elements. But if element is vertically over-constrained then only bottom edge is always ignored: "If neither '|top| <http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-position/#top>' and '|bottom| <http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-position/#bottom>' is '|auto|', '|bottom| <http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-position/#bottom>' is ignored (i.e., the used value of '|bottom| <http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-position/#bottom>' will be minus the value of '|top| <http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-position/#top>')." It seems would be logical to take writing mode into account and ignore top edge if writing mode is " bottom-to-top" . https://codereview.chromium.org/267063007/#msg2 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=979602#c17 Slava
