Description
When using the function `getClientRectAtPosition` if the caret position is at the end of a line, the results return the location of the start of the next line on Chromium based browsers. (Oddly, Firefox does not appear to have the issue.)
##### Steps to Reproduce
I've created a simple demonstration here:
https://codepen.io/awiredprairie/pen/jOoXGoz
##### Details
* Trix version: 2.1.1
* Browser name and version: Chrome, Edge (Version 125.0.2535.85)
* Operating system: Windows 11

Research direction
Start by reproducing the behavior in the linked CodePen and tracing the getClientRectAtPosition entry point in Trix 2.1.1. Compare caret positions at the end of a line in Chromium-based browsers with Firefox. Done means the function returns the caret location rather than the start of the next line in the reported case.
