Description Oliver Buchtala 2014-06-13 15:37:52 UTC
Put the cursor at the end of a text node and e.g. type ``.
After short delay the selection expands to the begin of the next node.

This happens for me under OSX Chrome 35 and Safari 7.0 for  VE@356f325ab21731e0aa5c83f90fb4fa037cc60cff.

Confirmed; the re-select happens on master.

When the cursor is at the start or in the middle of a paragraph and the next cursor position is text, nothing odd happens.

When the cursor is at the end of the paragraph (and the next paragraph begins with text or a node), it selects from the end of the paragraph to the start of the next. However, the selection is still n,n – it's not showing as a selection n to n+2 as it is showing.

When the cursor is at the start or in the middle of a paragraph and the next cursor position is a node (e.g. a reference or a link node), the cursor suddenly disappears (but the selection is still n,n).
