Hi Dan,

I tested TextEdit's behavior by your method and it seems that TextEdit follows Firefox / Internet Explorer's offset behavior here: (4)B(3)A(0)1(1)2(2).  But even WebKit follows this convention when inserting new line because the enclosing block in this case is LTR.

One potential problem with this research method is the location at which character is inserted/removed depends on the natural direction of the character and the direction of the enclosing block.  For example, if I change the direction of the document to RTL, then the apparent offsets on TextEdit change to (4)B(3)A(2)1(1)2(0).

Anyway, if you think we should align WebKit's behavior to that of TextEdit, then it seems like we need to reopen and fix https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52176.
