Let suppose we have a page with a paragraph with "contenteditable" attribute set to true and within this paragraph a span environment with "contenteditable" attribute set to false. If you put the text caret at the beginning of the span element and then you press the right arrow, you expect the caret to jump at the end of the span element, instead it jumps on the right of the first character after the span. There is a similar behavior if you set the initial position of the caret at the end of the span element and then you press the left arrow.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load a page with a non editable span element within an editable paragraph
2. set the caret at the beginning (end) of the span element
3. press the right (left) arrow
Actual Results:  
the new caret position is after (before) the first character on the right (left) of the span

Expected Results:  
the new caret position should be at the end (beginning) of the span element
