layout test

The attached layout tests demonstrates that a keypress event fired at body (or some other non-editable node for that matter) can end up editing another part of the node, if one of the event handlers changes the selection.

I've tested this with Chrome, and Safari, both will insert "a" into the text field. Firefox does not, IE9 does enter it.

It's not clear to me, what the expected behavior is?
