Description Julie Parent 2008-03-06 12:14:17 PST 
Repro steps:
1. Go to example page: http://jparent.googlepages.com/trappedInAnchorExample.html
2. Notice that the cursor is blinking after "link" and before "afterlink" (startContainer = endContainer = 'afterlink' text node)
3. Type any character

Result: Character goes inside of the link
Expected result: Character goes outside of the link

More dramatic repro:  
1. Set the cursor to select the 'a' in 'afterlink' (change endOffset to 1).  
2. Type any character.
Result: 'a' is deleted and newly typed character is inside the link
Expected result: 'a' is replaced by the character you type.

Also repros in nightly and OS X 10.4.11
