Created attachment 160240 [details] Demonstrates the bug Open the attached document. Expected result: You see "hello world" repeated twice Actual result: "hello world whello orld" The first line works because we're modifying the node before its renderer is created. The second line doesn't work because we're doing it in setTimeout(~, 0) and hence the text node has its renderer. http://crbug.com/125199
