Hi, I have spent time in analyzing this bug and here are my observations: In the Safari browser, if first or last span element in the Div tag is not content editable, then when trying to place the caret at the start or end of it using the mouse click has no affect as there is no editable content element available before or after it. Where as in other case, if there is any content editable element before or after a non-content editable span element then a caret can be positioned respectively. So is this correct behaviour of the Safari browser?
