    • The obvious changes are element locations swapping, but there are some more complex situations:
    • #5440 Theme - icon placement, scrollbars (from hidden content?)
    • #10655 Menu - arrow keys for opening submenus
    • #10658 Slider - lowest value on the right
    • Suggestion: Use dir attribute in markup to determine direction instead of using an option
    • PR for spinner based on this suggestion
    • Alex to ask Ariya for his contact. Hoping for help from IBM, at least with testing. Also ping Hans Hillen and Dylan Barrel
    • Scott to schedule a call to hash out details with all those who have experience and are willing to help.
    • Compare KendoUI implementation
    • Jacques to bring up RTL on IBM's internal governance call
  • Tooltips in native dialogs
    • #10739
    • Scott to ping browser vendors and spec authors about odd overflow constraints
  • Selectmenu
    • Should we check for hidden options?
    • Alex says hiding options isn't consistently supported natively
    • Alex to close with explanation
    • Perhaps we shoud advise him to use disabled attr in addition to display:none and hide the generated, disabled items via CSS.
  • New default theme
    • Rafael testing DB/TR integration
    • Decided to make the new theme the new default, as "Base", keep UI Lightness and Smoothness in the TR gallery
    • Update tooltip to use ui-widget-shadow class (via classes option, once that lands), move box-shodow definition into theme.css/.ui-widget-shadow, update TR to demo that instead of the weird fake shadow we have currently
