Steps:
1. 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
