JDK-8296266 - TextArea: Navigation breaks with RTL text
Description
When using mouse to select text in RTL mode the selection is shown backwards.

Also, the keyboard navigation with LEFT_ARROW/RIGHT_ARROW keys is broken (I think it has the same root cause as https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8296266 TextArea: Navigation breaks with RTL text).

To reproduce using the Monkey Tester:
1. select TextArea (also reproducible with TextField or PasswordField pages)
2. set Node.nodeOrientation property no RIGHT_TO_LEFT
3. type in some text
4. try to navigate the text using LEFT/RIGHT arrow keys
5. try to select text with the mouse

Observe:
in step 4, the caret moves erratically
in step 5, the selection goes backwards relative to the mouse movement
