They are meant to be invisible for normal users and only visible for screenreaders.

If your theme inherits from a standard theme this should be so, otherwise you will probably be seeing all the "hidden" code.

This page should have more info on it: http://docs.moodle.org/en/1.6_theme_upgrade

Can you send a URL so we can see what is happening? My test install looks OK under Farsi.

Perhaps it's a custom theme problem?

Sorry, but the video didn't work for me (it's blank), and farsi works ok on http://test.moodle.com/?lang=fa_utf8 ... (try it) so I don't know what to suggest. I'd need to see it.

Have you tried changing themes?

Hello,

Dear Martin, but the link http://test.moodle.com/?lang=fa_utf8 has the same problem, the page is very wide with "skip block" in the extreme left side.

Regards,

I can confirm the bug on, http://test.moodle.com/?lang=fa_utf8 regarding "skip block" hidden text being visible on extreme left of very wide page with horizontal scroll-bar. It occurs under Internet Explorer 6, and probably requires a Ctrl+F5 refresh - be persistent!

The AVI shows the bug on a course/category.php page, in 'wood' theme, but I have confirmed using 'standard' theme.

Discussion continues in bug 5628, http://moodle.org/bugs/bug.php?op=show&bugid=5628

(Martin, thanks for the explanation, 30 March)

Cheers, Nick
