Created attachment 54813 [details] test case The test case works in Firefox nightlies and as best I can tell, matches the spec: http://www.w3.org/TR/cssom-view/#dom-range-getclientrects. Personally, I think we should make this case work even without the text node. It matches IE and fits what developers actually want in practice. The pushback it's gotten has all be that it's complicated to spec. See: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2010Feb/0062.html In either case, we should start with matching the spec.

I can repro this bug on safari 11.0.2. And actually I just filed another bug that might be related or be the same bug: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=182181

I am not sure on web-spec but in attached test case, I get following results across all browsers: *** Safari 15.6 on macOS 12.5 & Chrome Canary 106 *** No clientRects returned from range.getClientRects() *** Firefox Nightly 105 *** top: 21.600006103515625 bottom: 21.600006103515625 left: 8 right: 8 width: 0 height: 0
