Re: [w3c/editing] Safari Desktop: position: relative on parent of empty text div makes content leak outside the text div. (Issue #496)

michael left a comment (w3c/editing#496)

The really surprising thing here is that the behavior depends on whether the parent of that empty div is `position: relative` (content leaks) or not (desired behavior).

A starting point for spec could be that modifications of the DOM must be local, which means no area outside of the start selection of a single-input or composition should be affected with a DOM change.

E.g. in my repro example, when the selection anchor/focus node is inside or including the 'editable-field' div, that div must not be wiped entirely.

```html
<div class="editable-canvas" contenteditable="true">
  <div class="editable-wrapper">
    <div class="editable-field"><br /></div>
  </div>
</div>
```

Currently when putting the cursor into the editable field and start a composition you end up with:

```html
<div class="editable-canvas" contenteditable="true">
</div>
```
