#browser { direction: rtl; } #sidebar-box { direction: ltr; } #appcontent { direction: ltr; } When I use this code to place the sidebar on the right side, the cursor in the locationbar and in the findbar gets an ugly extra dot on top. The cursor in a form input (on a website) is normal however. I'm seeing this as long as I remember, but only recently I discovered what the cause was.
This is not a bug. You can see on http://www.wikipedia.org/ that its text input is the same way, because it specifies <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="ltr"> bidi Bi-di is short for bi-directional, which means a combination of left-to-right (LTR) and right-to-left (RTL) writing in the same document. LTR writing systems include Latin, Russian, and Greek alphabets, and Hindu/Arabic numerals. RTL includes Arabic and Hebrew alphabets in texts without Hindu/Arabic numerals. The Unicode standard includes an algorithm for bidi rendering, which is required for Unicode conformance. In informal use among habitual LTR users, the term bidi includes unmixed, unidirectional RTL writing.
Oh well, then I'll mark it invalid.

Indeed, that is the bidi cursor.
