           Summary: paragraphs with different directionality in textarea
                    with unicode-bidi: plaintext are aligned the same
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: CSS
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: amir.aharoni at mail.huji.ac.il


In a <textarea> with style="unicode-bidi: plaintext" the direction of each paragraph is supposed to be detected automatically. Currently all the paragraphs are aligned to the same side, even if their directionality is identified is different from that of the other paragraphs. It would make more sense to align RTL paragraphs to the right and LTR paragraphs to the left. This is how it is rendered in some Linux plain text editors that support RTL text and in Mozilla - currently "unicode-bidi: plaintext" is implemented in Firefox 10, which is the nightly test release.
