Description
8.0 b72, with fixes of RT-26997, RT-27081, RT-24233, RT-26856.
Create a TextArea and set its content to mixed bidi text, press arrow key to the left-most or right-most, the caret keep moving, it could not stay in one place. 
This is not reproducible in TextField.
Please refer to the sample and videos.
Comments
Deferring this until later. It only happens when the first/last shown character has a different direction than the base direction, so should be fairly uncommon. The logic in TextArea.nextCharacterVisually() needs rethinking to solve this.
