Example

A combination of excess whitespace and inline elements seems to confuse
keyboard cursor motion.

Reproduce:

1. In the attached example, click after the text "Add".

2. Press cursor left 7 times. The cursor should be in front of the "a" in
"Panel".

3. Press cursor left again.

Expected Result:

The cursor moves to the left of "P".

Actual Result:

The cursor moves *right* to after the "l" in "Panel".

(Cursoring left again will loop again when it goes past the "a".)

Workarounds:

Removing the excess whitespace in between "Control" and "Panel" fixes the
problem. However, removing the spans (and leaving the whitespace) also fixes
the problem, so there's something more subtle going on.
