Description Glen Huang 2014-11-20 20:51:33 PST 
Example URL:

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. click on the hello text
2. see a 0 0 0 0 value in the output div

What went wrong?
range.getBoundingClientRect() should return a rect that denotes the range position even if it's collapsed, according to the spec http://www.w3.org/TR/cssom-view/#dom-range-getclientrects

Especially the "including when the boundary-points are identical" part.

Blink also has this problem. Works in gecko.

Blink has confirmed this bug.

I believe this bug exists pre-fork.

I am not able to reproduce this with Safari Technology Preview 153 and it does not show "0 0 0 0" value.

I will tag others to confirm whether it is fixed it or not. Thanks!
