That seems not unreasonable, on the assumption that (a) the bidi control codes exist to fine-tune the UBA and (b) visual direction bypasses the UBA altogether. (One has to make some assumptions, since AFAIK visual direction isn't formally defined anywhere and is only defined de facto by what authors did to get RTL pages looking reasonable on browsers without proper Bidi support. Thus the exception for form controls comes from the fact that form controls in browsers from that period were generally implemented by native OS widgets, which generally did have Bidi support on popular OSs in RTL locales) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
