Beth and I looked at the patch, and we suspect the logic for Case 3 below may be wrong:

Considering a case like <span id="span1">a<div>b</div></span>c<span id="span2">d</span>, if asked for the next sibling of the first RenderInline for span1, the above code will hit case 3 (because that inline doesn’t have a next sibling in its parent anonymous block), but then it will fail the condition for that case, because its parent is not an inline. Instead, shouldn’t we return the RenderInline for span2? Perhaps the way to do this is to follow the inlineContinuation chain and return the next sibling of the last renderer on the chain?

Marking this r- because upon discussion, Mitz and I concluded that there was indeed a bug.

I believe the new patch addresses Mitz's comments above.

prev is unused (you just assign to it).

I can’t think of a case where you couldn’t just do cur = cur->inlineContinuation() (assuming cur is a block or an inline). In other words, the first branch seems needlessly complicated. What am I missing?

You can just use firstChildConsideringContinuation(), because it includes the above (getting firstChild() and checking if it’s 0 etc.).

Like in lastChildConsideringContinuations, I don’t understand why the inline case can’t just use inlineContinuation().
