The position of the cursor when clicking on an empty element filled with the :empty:before CSS rule ignores the CSS text-indent property. It is always drawn as if text-indent was 0. See the attached files for an example.

Looks like a clearcut QoI bug. Here's a smaller testcase: <!DOCTYPE html> <p style="height: 50px; border: thin solid black; text-indent: 20px;" contenteditable></p> When the page first loads, the cursor is at the left edge of the <p>. As soon as you type anything, even if you then delete it, the cursor jumps to 20px away from the edge, respecting the text-indent.
