Actually Eric, the above URL shows the problem we have today, which made us
opening this ticket, but not the problem described in this ticket.

In FCKeditor, we have a custom implementation for the enter key. So by code, we
generate the paragraphs and put the selection (caret) there. To make the
selection visible, we are currently using scrollIntoView(false).

But, as described at bug 16117, scrollIntoView(false) has an undesired behavior
in Safari, making FCKeditor unusable.

As discusses at #webkit, bug 16117 is invalid and is not supposed to be fixed,
as the current is the behavior in IE. So, the alternative for us would be stop
using scrollIntoView.

To do that WebKit itself must guarantee that the selection will be visible
automatically, as does IE, so we came out with this bug report.

I really hope all this thing make sense. Thanks for your comments.
