Go to google.comn 2. Switch keyboard to RTL language, say Hebrew 3. Try to type some Hebrew in Google search box 4. Observe the shape of the caret Result: The shape of caret is always plain in Chrome and Safari, it doesn't indicate the language direction Expected: The shape of the caret should reflect the input language direction Notes: 1. IE7 always uses direction caret 2. Firefox by default uses plain caret, but if we switch keyboard to RTL language, then the caret will switch to direction caret 3.
