Attached test case includes three content editable areas: h1 that contains a <div>, an h1 that contains only text and a p tag. 338808 1 ap 2011-01-23 19:14:53 -0800 Interesting that this doesn't happen with non-editable text - or even if position:absolute is added to contenteditable in the attached example. This also doesn't happen in Bugzilla textarea (where you're writing your comment). 366217 2 ap 2011-03-11 12:13:07 -0800 See also: bug 56213. 378503 3 rniwa 2011-04-03 00:41:53 -0700 (In reply to comment #1) > Interesting that this doesn't happen with non-editable text - or even if position:absolute is added to contenteditable in the attached example. This also doesn't happen in Bugzilla textarea (where you're writing your comment). This bug is to do with the way we avoid selection extending across editing boundary. 379347 4 rniwa 2011-04-04 23:02:24 -0700 This is a duplicate of the bug 55552. I'm closing this one since the bug 55552 has patches posted. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 55552 *** 383243 5 rniwa 2011-04-11 10:23:50 -0700 Okay, let's make this bug depend on the bug 55552 and add a layout test separately. I've already uploaded a DRT test on the bug 55552 so I'll upload a patch as soon as the bug 55552 is fixed. 613243 6 rniwa 2012-04-30 22:37:48 -0700 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 56213 *** 79881 2011-01-23 15:52:07 -0800 2011-01-23 15:52:07 -0800 Testcase test.html text/html 317 patrick PCFET0NUWVBFIGh0bWw+CjxodG1sIGxhbmc9ImVuLXVzIj4KICA8aGVhZD4KICAgIDxtZXRhIGh0 dHAtZXF1aXY9IkNvbnRlbnQtVHlwZSIgY29udGVudD0idGV4dC9odG1sOyBjaGFyc2V0PXV0Zi04 Ij4KICAgIDx0aXRsZT5CYXNpYyB0ZW1wbGF0ZTwvdGl0bGU+CiAgPC9oZWFkPgogIDxib2R5Pgog ICAgPGgxIGNvbnRlbnRlZGl0YWJsZT48ZGl2PlRlc3QgKGgxLCBkaXYpPC9kaXY+PC9oMT4KICAg IDxoMSBjb250ZW50ZWRpdGFibGU+VGVzdCAoaDEpPC9oMT4KICAgIDxwIGNvbnRlbnRlZGl0YWJs ZT5UZXN0IChwKTwvcD4KICA8L2JvZHk+CjwvaHRtbD4=
