I guess repeat should have a possibility to specify what layout should be used. Reproducible: Always

XBLizing repeat would solve that. See bug 306247 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 306247 ***

I prefer to provide repeat orient support here instead that to do it in bug 306247. I guess repeat for xul and xhtml should provide a common way to set orient. Allan proposes to use appearance="compact" attribute. But if I understand right then he don't like a much a "compact" value. Also there are issues with contextcontainer flex for horizontal repeats. Default xul behaviour is that contextcontainer should be flexed. But I cannot find a way how xforms author can remove contextcontainer flexing without using css styles for contextcontainer (imo using such styles is not right way).

That's just grumpy old Allan :) The spec. defines the values: http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xforms-20060314/slice8.html#attrs-ui-common So we should probably have vertical layout as the default, and then horisontal layout as "compact". > Also there are issues with contextcontainer flex for horizontal repeats. > Default xul behaviour is that contextcontainer should be flexed.

I on the other hand think that CSS styling is the right way :)

Sorry previously attached file is not a patch. :)

Fixed on trunk.
