VisualEditor: Backspace deletes the wrong character
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

The backspace button is sometimes deleting the character immediately ahead of the caret, instead of the character behind it. Other times, the backspace button functions fine, though I don't know which situations it works or doesn't work in.

For example, in [[VisualEditor:Test]], if one selects the place between the "n" and "l" in the word "only" on the third line and presses backspace, "oly" is displayed for a split second before changing to "ony".

Tested on Chrome/IE9/FF15 on Windows 7.

Leaving a note for myself... This is caused when a paragraph begins with a breaknode. The breaknode is sluggable and the slug is inserted before the breaknode. I'm going to discuss with Inez next week.
