If the range is collapsed doesn't modify the font size about squire

[neilj]

I presume you are using Safari or Chrome. There is an issue with Webkit where you cannot focus the caret inside an empty text node: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15256. There are ugly hacks that can work around this, and I may consider adding one in the future (or if you'd like to write a patch, I will consider pull requests). However, really they need to fix this in Webkit. In the meantime, Opera and Firefox will work as expected (and I think IE9 does as well, but I can't remember and don't have access to it on the machine I'm using right now).

Ah, sod it. I decided to fix this myself. Just grab the latest version.

Thanks! Nice hack! ;)

Just a comment related with this fix, when you set a new size for the font and type something the caret is before the first character then jumps to the second, it's a bit weird, is it possible to insert the cursor after the first character and avoid the jump? Thanks!

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by that, but I've fixed a bug which could be what you're talking about. Try the latest version.

tried the latest version but the problem is still there. Try to replicate it yourself:
1- Open your demo.html with Safari
2- Click on the contenteditable area and change the size of the font to 100px
3- Press a key, for example "a", you can see the caret before the "a" character (the correct position of the caret is after the "a" character, not before)
4- press another key, you see how the caret jumps the "a" character
Hope this helps!

Works fine for me; Safari correctly puts the cursor after the A. Perhaps it's a bug in an older version of Safari? If so, there's not much I can do about it; run Software Update and check you have the latest version.

Opss, sorry, you are right, this only happens in Mobile Safari on iPad (iOS 5.1).

It seems that Squire doesn't work very well in Mobile Safari, it has a very weird problem with Newline characters too.

Mobile Safari currently has severe bugs with rich text editing. I can't work around these; for now I recommend not enabling rich text editing but falling back to plain text on iOS devices instead. Hopefully the bugs will be fixed in iOS6.
