You are talking about the exceptional case of typing a character whose directionality is opposite the text field’s directionality, right?
<span class="quote">> In addition, shift-right-arrow expands the selection to the left.</span >
This is a separate issue. Some bugs in arrow key behavior have been fixed, and addressing some bugs involving arrow-selection requires supporting multiple-range selections first.

WebKit doesn’t support a split caret yet (see <a class="bz_bug_link
bz_status_NEW "
title="NEW - display a split caret when on boundary between LTR and RTL text"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=3710">bug 3710</a>). WebKit’s caret positioning in OS X matches that of Cocoa when the optional split caret feature is turned off.</pre>
