Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Open provided URL 2. Click button to execute code as described on its label 3. Notice how a nested paragraph structure has been created (and the first inserted paragraphs ends up last in the created DOM tree - but that's probably related) What is the expected behavior? What Firefox does: create a DOM tree that looks like this: <p>1st inserted</p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> What went wrong? Instead it creates a DOM tree that looks like this: <p><p></p></p> <p>1st inserted</p> Does it occur on multiple sites: Yes Is it a problem with a plugin? No Did this work before? N/A Does this work in other browsers? No Safari (verified v7.0.1) Chrome version: 34.0.1797.2 Channel: dev OS Version: OS X 10.9.1 Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 12.0 r0 As soon as a layout is applied to all paragraphs, this misbehavior disappears. Or when the br element is removed from the initial contenteditable, this misbehavior disappears. And probably several more subtle requirements that I haven't discovered.

I'm not sure whether "layout is applied" in the last paragraph is correct. I _am_ sure that when you apply min-height to every p (in CSS), the problem goes away.
