[BugBot [:suhaib / :marco]]

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::DOM: Editor' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

According to the discussion in the spec issues, getTargetRanges need to return reasonable content range even with EditContext. Then, we need to use the computing methods of getTargetRanges in HTMLEditor, but they depend on Selection and may update Selection temporarily. However, that may cause complicated web-compat issues. Therefore, we need to fix bug 1923795 before working on this.
