  1. Move focus to an editor, either <textarea> or <div contenteditable>.
  2. Collapse selection anywhere in it.
  3. Right click in it over a character which is NOT next to the caret.

It seems that the caret does not move at right click position in native widgets of Linux. Although we respect the native widget behavior in theory, but I think that we should keep our current behavior by default because the difference is pretty big and that may make users confused if they switch Linux and another OS frequently. However, it must be better to be a pref to align the behavior to native widget of Linux.
