I think this test might actually obsolete editing/selection/extend-selection-home-end

It definitely does.  Please modify extend-selection-home-end.html instead of adding new test that's a superset of the old test.

home-end is badly named, it should be lineboundary.

Consider it an obsoletion rather than a modification.

I'm not sure.  home-end signifies the fact we're testing the behavior of home and end keys wheres line-boundary doesn't.  I don't think new name is significantly better.  In general, I'm hesitant to rename tests unless there's a really compelling reason to do so.  For example, flakiness dashboard will lose all test results if we did this rename.

Nit: old change log.

Well, lineboundary is actually a disjoint set from home-end.  Home-end is platform dependent, lineboundary isn't.  So actually they're quite distinct.

Ok, but I'm still skeptical of the benefit of this rename.  I'm going to wait until some other reviewer can comment on the benefit of renaming this test.

home-end is a poor name for this test since it actually is only testing lineboundary behavior. The new name is clearly more accurate. But the rename is orthogonal to cleaning up the test to using runSelectionTestsWithGranularity(createAllNodes(), "lineBoundary").

Ben, would you mind making them in two separate patches? Also, as you noted in person, you'll need to use SVN to do the move properly since "git svn" doesn't handle it correctly.

I'm wrong about this, sorry.  Extend by lineboundary is platform dependent, though home-end is more platform divergent.

That said, as Ojan mentioned, this test isn't testing home-end but rather lineboundary anyway.
