Describe the issue

The caret on the select input form is in the wrong position (right side), and it overlaps the text, when the text direction is RTL.

The caret for the select box is a background image, and it is being positioned using background-position CSS property, but this property does not support logical property values, so not sure how this issue would be addressed beside moving the CSS var that deals with it into actual code, and adding RTL CSS selector inverse the caret's position.
