           Summary: extending selection after change text directionality
                    behaves differently for textarea and div element
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: HTML Editing
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: xji at chromium.org


Steps to reproduce:
1. open the attached test case
2. repeat the following steps to the first line ('div') and 2nd line
('textarea') separately.
a). select word "two" by place cursor after 'o' and continuing press shift+left
arrow.
b) change directionality to 'right-to-left' using context menu (while still
selects word "two")
c) press shift+left arrow 

Results:
1. for 'div' element (the first line), selection became "two ", which extends
the original selection to include the space between 'two' and 'three". 
2. for 'textarea' (the 2nd line), selection became 'wo', 't' in 'two' was
un-selected.
