Re: [w3c/editing] Safari Desktop: `insertReplacementText` not fired (Issue #494)

johanneswilm left a comment (w3c/editing#494)

This is clearly defined in the Input Events spec and this issue therefore appears to be an implementation bug. The `insertReplacementText` type is not listed in an overview ticket that describes inconsistencies between spec and webkit implementation [1]. The lack of `insertReplacementText` is mentioned in multiple other tickets between 2019-2024 [2]. 

There is one ticket in which it is mentioned that `insertReplacementText` should only be used for spellchecker and auto-insertion (and not Emojis) [3]. While it is correct that this `inputType` isn't the right one for emojis, we have since tadded that it should be used for other forms of generated text, for example by an OS provided LLM.
