For example, given the logical text "abcABC" in LTR context, whose display is "abcCBA", when caret is placed rightmost at "abcCBA|", the returned offset from 
http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/74971/trunk/WebCore/rendering/InlineTextBox.cpp is swapped from 0 to 3 due to the box and its containing block are in different directionality. Select left and stops at "abcCB|A", the offset returned is 1, which is correct. The correct selection range should be from offset 0 to 1 and selects 'A', instead, the selection range is from offset 3 to 1 and "CB" is selected.

Similar when select left to right.
