Created attachment 299957 [details] Minimal test case Given the following markup: <div> <div><br><br><br><br><br></div> </div> After selecting the entire contents of the outermost <div>, the selection highlight is missing for the last two lines. This is new behavior in Safari 10.1/Safari Technology Preview. See the attached test case (line-break-selection.html). The behavior is also present for selections in contenteditable containers, which can lead to confusion about what text is actually selected in a rich text editor.

I am not sure on expected behavior or web-spec but this is current beahvior in attached test case across browsers: *** Safari 15.6 on macOS 12.5 *** Clicking "Select All" shows "Selection" across field of <div conetenteditable> but since it is <br> or nothing, it just confuses that something is selected. *** Firefox Nightly 104 *** Clicking "Select All" do nothing and does not show any selection inside <div contenteditable>. *** Chrome Canary 106 *** Clicking "Select All" shows smalls election (2 or 4 px wide) in <div contenteditable>. I am not sure, which behavior is correct or aligned with web-spec but wanted to share latest test results. Thanks!

This report is about how much of the box gets filled with a selection vertically, not horizontally. WebKit behavior seems most weird to me of these three.
