           Summary: The shape of caret does not indicate the language
                    direction
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://www.google.com/
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Layout and Rendering
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: xlyuan at chromium.org

Steps:
1. Go to google.comn
2. Switch keyboard to RTL language, say Hebrew
3. Try to type some Hebrew in Google search box
4. Observe the shape of the caret

Result:
The shape of caret is always plain in Chrome and Safari, it doesn't indicate
the language direction

Expected:
The shape of the caret should reflect the input language direction

Notes:
1. IE7 always uses direction caret
2. Firefox by default uses plain caret, but if we switch keyboard to RTL
language, then the caret will switch to direction caret
