1644511 - Collapsing selection does not follow visual direction, ignoring the flag

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect, P2)

Description

[Kagami Rosylight [:saschanaz] (they/them)]

1. Open https://codepen.io/basharh/pen/rNOZKOL
2. Select the text
3. Collapse the selection by pressing keyboard left button.

Expected: Its direction should depend on bidi.edit.caret_movement_style flag. In other words, the left button should put the caret on the right side of the selection if the value is 0, otherwise on the left side. (That is, assuming you are on *nix system. Windows does not follow the flag: Bug 1644489)
Actual: It always puts the caret on the right side.
