Status: NEW

(Core :: DOM: Selection, defect, P5)

Description

[arni2033]

>>>   My Info:   Win7_64, Nightly 49, 32bit, ID 20160526082509
STR_1:
1. Open https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Range/cloneContents
2. Move mouse between "Sta" and "tus" in word "Status", hold left mouse button,
   move mouse between "nece" and "ssary" in word "necessary", release left mouse button.
3. Open web console, execute  "window.getSelection().anchorNode"  w/o outer quotes

AR:  console reports element "code.language-js"
ER:  console should report text node "Status", because I started selection there

Note:

 "Selection.anchorNode - Returns the Node in which the selection begins"

The issue is reproducible on the latest Firefox release (50.1.0) and on the latest Nightly (53.0a1).

Too late for firefox 52, mass-wontfix.

Bulk-downgrade of unassigned, >=3 years untouched DOM/Storage bug's priority.

If you have reason to believe this is wrong, please write a comment and ni :jstutte.
