           Summary: Programmatically setting a selection inside an editable
                    region shouldn't focus that region
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 420+ (nightly)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: HTML Editing
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at opendarwin.org
        ReportedBy: justin.garcia at apple.com


There are two arguments for not focusing an editable region when a selection is
programmatically set inside it:
Focusing a node scrolls to reveal it, and we don't normally scroll to reveal a
selection when it is set.
We don't focus textareas when we set selections inside them (FireFox doesn't
either)

IE focuses textareas when a selection is set inside them, but it _does not_
focus an editable region when a selection is set inside it.
