I'm sorry. I tried, but I can't understand the bug report. Bi-directional
relates to hebrew/arabic text. What are you talking about?

Reassigning to Kyle in hopes he can find someone to help on this.

The reporter's bi-directory means,
for example
before step 5, your caret is at PointA
you pressed left arrow as step 5, caret comes PointB
then, you pressed right arrow as step 6, caret does not come back to PointA, but
goes to PointC

I've tried the patch in
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=130889#c8
it will solve this problem.(and some other problems also)

But my concern is whether arrow keys should take caret into textfield without 
focus in?

Aaron, what's your opinion?

To test, go to http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/, type something in the textfield.
Put caret in " Enter a bug # or some search terms:", press right arrow several 
times.
