54418 - clicking on last row on nested table in cell span puts caret in wrong place

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: Selection, defect, P3)

Description

[mjudge]

see attachment. click on 3rd row of nested table. the caret 
snaps to last row of outer table last cell.

well i stepped into it and when you click to the right of the text in the last 
cells in the rowspan the frame that gets triggered IS NOT the block frame that 
all cells contain. (if it were the code would put the caret in proper location) 
instead it is hitting the TableRowFrame for the last row in the OUTER table. so 
therefore the only cell it has on that row gets the 
caret. 

This is an event targeting issue. the wrong frame is getting sent this 
message.  There is no way that I can think of to hack this in ANY reasonable 
manner from the code path after the  message is recieved. 

not going in this release i am afraid.
