           Summary: RTL: Diacritical marks (Nikud) deleted along with letter
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: InChromiumBugs
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Layout and Rendering
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: playmobil at google.com

Steps to reproduce:
* Copy the following (u05D0 + u05B1) into a text input field in WebKit.
אֱ
* press backspace once.

Expected Results:
* Only the diacritical mark under the letter Aleph should be deleted, the
letter itself should be left alone.

To see the correct behavior, paste the text into the TextEdit on OS X and press
delete, you can see that the diacritical mark is deleted separately from the
letter.

What happens:
* The diacritical mark and the letter are deleted as one unit, there is no way
to delete just the diacritical mark.

Both IE7 & FF3 behave correctly here, deleting only the diacritical and leaving
the letter alone.
