968430 - selection is visible while it was supposed to be removed

Status: NEW

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

Description

[alexander :surkov (:asurkov)]

Attachment: crazyselection.html

spun off bug 957332: it seems there's a sequence of range operations that lead the selection appear on the screen while it's not there on DOM level.

I tried to get non a11y mochitest but not sure if it 1-1 equivalent.

Is this a correct .html for STR? I notice:

|range.setSEnd(p1TextNode, 4);|

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.
