330457 - Bidi: After pressing "Home" on a line starting with reverse-direction text, pressing "Del" immediately deletes a character away from the caret

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Layout: Text and Fonts, defect)

Description

[Uri Bernstein]

In an LTR textarea, on a line beginning with RTL text:
1. Press "Home" - the caret moves to the beginning (left) of the line.
2. Press "Del".

The first letter of the RTL text (which is away from the caret) is immediately deleted, and the caret jumps to the location of the deleted letter.

Expected: No deletion should be done. Instead, the caret should jump to the location immediately to the right of the first RTL character.

The same happens in an RTL textarea, in a line starting with LTR text. 

This is a regression from bug 327107.

Testcase coming up.
