This problem occurs for me every time. I am replacing a smiley :-) with an 
image of someone smiling (<img 
src="..." alt=":-)"/>)

Yes this issue affects when the user types in something and in the middle of it 
you (a 
robot) try to change part of the document. The reposition of the cursor affects 
the 
user resulting in messy sentences. 
In DOCUMENT_CHANGED event any external entities (like robots) should not change 
the 
cursor position from the end users perspective.
