[Garry Yao]

Same problem exists when using "End" key to move the cursor instead of clicking at the block end.

Comment 2

[Garry Yao]

After cursor is moved to the block end, subsequent typing should remains in the  applied inline style (font size) instead of moving out of it, with the only exception that when last inline style in the block is linked text.

IE and Webkit works well in this sense.

We need a spec here to tell browsers how to normalize the selection...

Comment 4

[Aryeh Gregor (:ayg) (no longer with Mozilla)]

Yeah, it's definitely on my long-term todo list.  If we spec Selection.modify and require it to behave like the appropriate keypresses, that will give us even better interop on this sort of thing, but that's a much bigger project.  Just defining some sane normalization would do the job in this case.

Bulk-downgrade of unassigned, >=5 years untouched DOM/Storage bugs' priority.

If you have reason to believe this is wrong (especially for the severity), please write a comment and ni :jstutte.
