I feel this has a relation with bug 264820, but in this case it's the caret state that needs to adjust to dynamic conditions.

I'm asking for blocking on this one. I think it's over due to fix some of the more serious contentEditable bugs.

One can work around this issue by calling .blur() before disabling contenteditable

I cannot reproduce this on the latest Nightly 63.  Feel free to reopen this with test case.
