WebKit assumes a floating element as a something like a inline, thus doesn't treat it need spacing 
between elements. 
See shouldEmitNewlinesBeforeAndAfterNode() in TextIterator.cpp.

I am able to reproduce this bug in Safari 16.1 and Chrome Canary 110, where both browsers select both "left" and "right" while Firefox only select "Left" as expected. Just wanted to highlight the latest behavior from attached testcase. Thanks!
