           Summary: DOM position at the boundary of LTR/RTL text inside a
                    RTL/LTR block is wrong
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: HTML Editing
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: rniwa at webkit.org

In WebKit, the offset at the boundary of text follows the direction used by the surrounding text.

For example, abc (LTR) in a RTL block results in the offsets:
(3)a(1)b(2)c(0)
and CBA (RTL) in a LTR block results in the offsets:
(0)C(2)B(1)A(3)

But this is inconsistent with Firefox or MSIE both of which does:
(0)a(1)b(2)c(3)
(3)C(2)B(1)A(0)
