Details

Testcase is from bug 681387. The document.caretPositionFromPoint method should return the caret position as to where the caret would be positioned, when you would click/tap on that point in the document. The resulting offsetNode and offset properties would be equal to the collapsed selection object's focusNode and focusOffset (and in the textfield case, the selectionEnd). When clicking somewhere in the textarea at the bottom right, I get this as result: clientX:158 clientY:131 textfield: [object HTMLTextAreaElement] textfield.selectionEnd:3 caretpositionfrompoint.offsetNode:[object HTMLTextAreaElement] caretpositionfrompoint.offset:1 caretpositionfrompoint.offset should return the same as textfield.selectionEnd, which is not the case as you can see.
Summary: caretPositionFromPoint returns different offset in textarea as the selection.focusOffset when clicking on empty areay → caretPositionFromPoint returns different offset in textarea as the selection.selectionEnd when clicking on empty area
Yep, this is (I believe) the same as bug 824965.
