Description Domenic Denicola 2017-04-17 14:51:49 PDT 
The spec was recently changed in https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/2437. See the new spec at:

- https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/forms.html#dom-input-value-value
- https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/forms.html#dom-textarea-value

Web platform tests are available at http://w3c-test.org/html/semantics/forms/textfieldselection/selection-after-content-change.html

Note that browsers were previously rather non-interoperable and spec-compliant in this area, including WebKit; this change brings the spec more in line with WebKit for textarea, but less so for input.

We are passing all WPT tests:

Do we need to do anything more?

Probably it's fine. 
Thanks Ahmad for the heads up.
