Details

Just got a BiDi build based on trunk nightly with some new files from erik@netscape built on Solaris and Linux. Tried to input arabic in a text area and perform cursor movement for the arabic Combo case (quite a common occurance in arabic). Found that cursor movement in BiDi case is broken (atleast under *nix).

INVALID because of lack of information. If the intention is that e.g. caret should move over a lam-alef ligature as if it were a single character, I think that is WONTFIX since it is not what most users of Arabic script expect.
