simple page to demo the problem

When editable divs innerText is set to an empty string caret is lost. Calling element.focus() on that div doesn't restore the caret 
since that element is already the focused node. Focus is on the element but the caret can not be restored and typing doesn't do anything.

This happens because after setting text to an empty string and removing children nodes selection is set to noselection. 

Same problem happens when clearing innerHTML, but I'm not sure if that should be fixed too.
