[webkit-help] Problem with visual feedback on editable element.

this is a html file which demonstrates a problem with visual feedback
on editable element. Can someone help?

I want to edit an  element make editable if I click on it.
Elements of class "editing" are editable as per the css.
Clicking an element of class code  makes it editable.
Typing escape makes the englobing element editable.

Everything works fine except that the blue box indicating
the editable area does not appear until I move the caret with
a left or right arrow

This is on chrome.
Note the reliance on this inline css.

.editing {
   -webkit-user-select: text;
   -webkit-user-modify: read-write;
 }

jquery is used to clear and set the "editing" class for the right element

Is there a work around?
