test case

See Bug 11746, specifically Bug 11746 Comment #15 and Bug 11746 Comment #16. *** Bug 68322 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** All browsers (Safari 16.5, Chrome Canary 115 and Firefox Nightly 115) now place caret / cursor at the beginning / start rather than like previous behavior of Firefox to place it at end of sentence. Since Firefox changed here. Marking this as 'RESOLVED WONTFIX'. |
