FF: Cursor stops before non content editable element when pressing left arrow key

[Inga]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to ​http://ckeditor.swg.usma.ibm.com/
2. In the console: CKEDITOR.instances.editor1.insertHtml('aaa <a contenteditable="false" href="www.ibm.com">@Amy Jones126</a> aaa')

1. Same for a similar structure more similar to mentions
2. In the console: CKEDITOR.instances.editor1.insertHtml('aaa <span contenteditable="false"><a href="www.ibm.com">@Amy Jones126</a></span> aaa')
3. Press the left arrow key...

The best way to reproduce this problem is using below code:

var editor = CKEDITOR.replace( 'editor1', { allowedContent:true } );
editor.on( "instanceReady", function( event ){
editor.setData('', function(){
	editor.insertHtml('aaa <a contenteditable="false" href="www.ibm.com">@Amy Jones126</a> aaa');
	} );
});

1. The problem is that same or similar thing happens in native contenteditable field. Cursor is also gone there.
2. In CKEditor 3.0 - 3.2.2 it was possible to move cursor around the link but it was also possible to modify it.
3. Starting from CKEditor 3.3 it is no longer possible to modify contenteditble="flase" elements but it is also not possible to freely move cursor around them.

I'm confirming this issue as perhaps there might be something done to "put cursor next to non-editable element, focus it and again put cursor next to it" when using arrows

Does it happen with widgets too? Non-editable elements are supported only in form of widgets.

No the widgets are handled nicely - you can move around with arrow as much as you like.

Thank you for clarification @Reinmar. I'm closing the ticket.
