           Summary: Keyboard selection across nested span inside
                    contenteditable selects entire region (visually)
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: HTML Editing
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: mtsui at google.com
                CC: rniwa at webkit.org


What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open up the attached file.
2. Place cursor in the text "start selection here"
3. Press shift+right to expand selection to the right until it reaches 
"glitch"
4. Notice that as the selection expands, before selecting the "g" the 
entire contenteditable region becomes visibly selected.

What is the expected result?
The selection should expand and include the previous selection + "g" 
character 

What happens instead?
The entire contenteditable appears selected.

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.

In other browsers, it takes two shift+right to move across the nested 
spans.

Additional notes- the selection is rendered over the entire region, but if the selection is programmatically queries in JS returns the correct result.
