Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to "Control Panel", open "Region and Language", click on the "Administrative" tab, click "Change system locale".

2. Change the "Current system locale" to Arabic, then click OK, see https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/95157096/85f61cf7/rw9mfjcoro.png.

3. Click "Restart now" to restart Windows.

4. Open Firefox, then go to https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/95157096/85f61cf7/nusx74cdnd.html.

5. Switch to an Arabic keyboard.


The text input cursor should be the left direction with RTL language.

Loic, I was just going to change this one and our comment was about to have a mid air collision :D
But I was just wondering, won't it be a  Component->Event Handling ?

Sabbir, can you try with an arabic keyboard ?

It's related about the caret shape in text input, not in the Firefox window.

> 5. Switch to an Arabic keyboard.

What I mean here is change the language to Arabic by the "Language bar".

I tested this from Ubuntu 15.04 x64 with latest nightly. The caret flips correctly for English and Arabic languages,
Its a windows only.

This will eventually be fixed by bug 1033488. We need to communicate the current keyboard's bidi state to child processes correctly.
