They build applications based on that false assumption and their applications break when used with bidirectional text. - Ryosuke On Tue, Jun 28, 2011 at 8:32 PM, Ryosuke Niwa <rniwa@webkit.org> wrote: > On Tue, Jun 28, 2011 at 8:07 PM, Robert O'Callahan <robert@ocallahan.org>wrote: > >> It seems that with the Mac split caret, one half shows where left-to-right >> text would be inserted and the other half shows where right-to-left text >> would be inserted.
