Steps to reproduce: 1. Create an inline instance on a contenteditable element 2. Enter a paragraph of text 3. Select the paragraph of text from the right end to the left, starting from an empty space 4. Use font plugin's richcombos to change the font size '''Note''': it is important how the selection is made. Selecting by double/triple clicking or Ctrl-A will always work. ---- As far as I can tell, this is due to the font plugin's use of richcombos that change the browser focus. Doing the same selection but using simple styles like bold/italics/underline works 100% of the time. Tracing through the selection plugin, I found that window.getSelection() reports the selection as isCollapsed. However, when selecting another way (like Ctrl-A) avoids that."
