Open the reproduction at https://w3c.github.io/editing/repros/501.html in Firefox and inspect the centered text with its placeholder. Compare the cursor position with the expected behavior shown by the repro and identify the relevant editing or browser behavior. Done means the cursor is correctly aligned in Firefox without regressing the reproduction.
