test case

As far as I can see, the bug is fixed in neither Chrome 12.0 nor Safari 5.1, neither for input nor for textarea. To reproduce:

1. Open the attached setdir.html
2. Click on the input and type a. You will see a period appear above the input indicating that an input event has been fired.
3. In Chrome on Windows, press Ctrl-Right Shift; in Safari, right-click on the input and choose RTL paragraph direction.
Expected behavior: "rtl." should appear next to the period placed above the input earlier. This would indicate that an input event has been fired.
Actual behavior: nothing happens.
4. Click on the input and type b. You will see "rtl." appear next to the period placed above the input earlier.
5. Repeat 1-4 using the textarea instead.

In other words, the user setting an element's direction sets its dir attribute, but does not fire the input event, which is what this bug is all about.
