Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-US; rv:1.9.0.8) Gecko/2009032609 Firefox/3.0.8

The table-editing handles show up where the contenteditable DIV would be if it weren't within another DIV positioned elsewhere.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Go to example URL.
2.  Click "testing".
3.  Observe table-editing handles' location.
Actual Results:  
The table-editing handles are in the upper-left corner of the document.

Expected Results:  
They should be on the focused table cell.

This also appears to be a bug in Firefox 3.0.7 under Windows XP.
