698280 - Can't position caret before or after table if it's the only element

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1674359

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect, P5)

Description

[Stanimir Stamenkov]

Attachment: Test sample

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:10.0a1) Gecko/20111030 Firefox/10.0a1

Given a content as:

<div contenteditable="true">
  <table border="1">
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <th>A</th><th>B</th><th>C</th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>1.1</td><td>1.2</td><td>1.3</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>2.1</td><td>2.2</td><td>2.3</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
  </table>
</div>

it doesn't appear possible to move the caret before or after the table to insert content in those positions.  Using IE 9, Opera 11.52, Safari 5.1.1 and Chrome 15 beta on Windows - all appear to allow moving the caret before or after the table and insert a new content there.

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.

Belated thanks Stanimir, and well presented. This is an age-old Core: Dom: Editor bug (see bug 535475), and Thunderbird's message editor is much affected. So coming from Thunderbird triage, I am trying to get some traction on this in the most recent duplicate, bug 1674359, which has an even more reduced testcase.

Updating to S3 to match the bug it has been duplicated to.
