            Bug ID: 145212
           Summary: selection.getRangeAt(0) should return a reference to
                    the range, not a copy
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: HTML DOM
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: m.goleb+bugzilla at gmail.com

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Select some text on any page.
2. Open DevTools, go to the console
3. Enter:

var selection = getSelection();
selection.getRangeAt(0) === selection.getRangeAt(0);

It returns false. The spec:
https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/editing/raw-file/tip/editing.html#dom-selection-getrangeat
is clear:
"it must return a reference to (not a copy of) the context object's range."

The same happens in Chrome; Firefox does the right thing.
