I've been investigating this bug. The error occurs on `HTMLTextFormControlElement.cpp::computeSelectionDirection`. More precisely in this line: https://webkit-search.igalia.com/webkit/source/Source/WebCore/html/HTMLTextFormControlElement.cpp#420 The method returns `SelectionHasNoDirection` (expected result) when `document.frame()` is null. For some reason, in GLIB based ports `document.frame()` is not null thus the method continues its execution and eventually returns "forward".
This has been fixed by r291396. Closing this bug as duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 237641 ***
