Replying to @DougEwell
Oops. Correct ! Thanks for noting. (If this was my Mastodon toot, i'd be able to edit it. I think i should probably delete and resend it with the correct wording, since that's rather important.)
(It is also fixed for various other languages where middle dot appears between other letters.)
WEB I18N GAP FIXED: All 3 major browser engines, Gecko, Blink, & WebKit, now support sending text direction of a field to the server using dirname. They also support changing the computed direction of a form field when set manually by a the user.
