In Chrome under Windows, I can press right control+right shift and the text direction in text fields and text boxes becomes right-to-left. But under Ubuntu, nothing happens.
In other programs (Gedit for example,) I can right-click then select Insert Unicode Control Character->RLM Right-to-left Mark to change the text direction, but that menu is not present when I right-click a text box in Chrome.
How can I change the text direction in Chrome?
Edit:
I tried Manually inserting a RLM Mark (a list is here) by holding control+shift then typing u followed by the hex code of the control character. Out of the seven listed (U+200E, U+200F, U+202A, U+202B, U+202C, U+202D, U+202E), three of them (U+200F, U+202B, U+202E) worked in Gedit, but not in Chrome.

Couple of guesses - does either Left CTRL+Right SHIFT, or SHIFT+CTRL+X work?
There are some subtle differences in Linux Chrome due to the use of GTK controls.
