+ * position, but WebKit's native typing insertion point silently keeps
+ * pointing at the pre-paste position — the next typed character lands there
+ * instead of after the pasted text (e.g. typing "," after pasting "2" into
+ * "1,|)" produces "1,,2)" instead of "1,2,)"). A genuine subsequent selection
+ * change (as from an arrow key) forces WebKit to re-anchor correctly.
+ *
