Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1207761

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect)

Description

[avi golan]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:41.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/41.0
Build ID: 20151014143721

Steps to reproduce:

tried to focus on input text on any site or in address line, the computer has rtl language that was selected.



Actual results:

the cursor  is turn to the left like ltr language was selected(after start writing the cursor is turn to the right like it should be).
this is very very confusing, you always think the language isn't correct.


Expected results:

when input text has focus and the language is rtl, the cursor should turn to the right and not to the left.

sorry I made mistake with the direction the cursor in rtl should turn to the left and in non rtl to the right.

The address bar is special because URLs are inherently LTR, so I want to focus on the the case of this being incorrect in content. Could you provide a specific URL and steps to reproduce, and maybe a screenshot of the problem?
