As far as I can tell, the actual results in this case is the platform behavior in GTK. The original reporter in this case is on macOS, which has the expected behavior in the native text editor (TextEdit). I haven't tested Windows, but if this bug gets picked up, it likely makes sense to match the native behavior.

WebKit and Chromium on Linux also seems to have the "actual" behavior (rather than the native one) - which seems undesirable to me.

Also marking bug 393227 as see also as it reports a similar looking issue.

The same happens in Windows 11. Also see https://www.reddit.com/r/FirefoxCSS/comments/1ag7m0h/the_default_behaviour_of_firefox_where_like_2686/.
