           Summary: Using keyboard select RTL text, Highlight goes to
                    opposite direction from FF&IE
           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


Test case is attached.

Currently, Chrome/Webkit text selection always follows logical order, no 
matter on bidi text or on pure RTL text, no matter in an RTL text box (for 
example, set dir="rtl") or in LTR text box.

By logical order, I mean shift-left-arrow moves cursor logically backward, 
while shift-right-arrow moves cursor logically forward.


But that is not the case for FF and IE.

For FF&IE, in LTR text box, text selection followings logical order, same 
as Chrome.


But in RTL text box, FF&IE follows anti-logical order.

Given the pure RTL text in the test file, text selection follows the same 
order as visual order.
Given the 1st bidi text example in the test file, text selection follows 
anti-logical order, which means shift-left-arrow moves cursor logically 
forward, while shift-right-arrow moves cursor logically backward.
