[webkit-dev] Editable selection inside empty element

[Frederico Caldeira Knabben]

Rob,

I've filled the following ticket:
	
	http://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15256

I think it has nothing to do with 10881 (which is a serious bug I think I've
faced too), and I'm unsure about it's relation with 10883. I'm leaving core
developers to decide here.

Fred
