RTL doesn't work

There is a gadget that will enforce rtl..http://ultimategerardm.blogspot.com/2011/01/any-volunteers-for-uploading-glam.html

I have it enabled, but it doesn't help.

Possibly related: since the deployment of Mediawiki 1.17, some of the interface for rtl languages in Wikipedia is broken. For example, the edit box for links has the labelling set up ltr.

Is there a bug report about this?

Is it related to bugzilla:27490?
