Summary

CSS property writing-mode should be enabled for form controls elements as it will allow lines of text to be laid out horizontally or vertically and it sets the direction in which blocks progress. With this feature, we are allowing the form control elements select, meter, progress, button, textarea and input to have vertical-rl or vertical-lr writing mode. As needed for Web compatibility, we will slowly rollout the change for a number of form controls in 118 and continue in future milestones. * --enable-features= FormControlsVerticalWritingModeSupport * --enable-features= FormControlsVerticalWritingModeTextSupport
