When an HTML entity is the first character on the line, the user cannot position the cursor before that entity, just by clicking on/before it. This way it is not possible:
to type before that entity
to mark the text from the beginning of the line using the mouse
to mark the text from the beginning of the line with SHIFT-CTRL-LeftArrow
to see the entity marked - one should mark the last character(s) of the previous line to see the text before the entity is marked, but even then the entity itself is not highlighted/marked (but internally it is, so it is possible to copy it)
When an HTML entity is the last character on the line, the user cannot position the cursor after that entity, just by clicking after it. This way it is not possible:
to type after that entity
to mark the text up to the end of the line using the mouse
to mark the text up to the end of the line with SHIFT-CTRL-RightArrow
to see the entity marked - again, one should select the first characters of the next line to make sure the entity is selected
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Type the text on a new line
α1 2 3 4 5β
(without the apostrophes)
Click before the alpha letter - the cursor is positioned after the alpha letter and a short time after this the code of the alpha entity is shown. Even then the cursor is after the entity
Click after the beta letter - the cursor is positioned before the beta letter. The code of the entity is shown and even then the cursor is before the entity
Click on any other letter
Use SHIFT-CTRL-LeftArr and select until the beginning of the line - alpha is still not selected/marked
Click on any other letter
Use SHIFT-CTRL-RightArr and select until the end of the line - beta is still not selected/marked
Expected behavior
when the HTML entity is the first (character) on the line, clicking before the entity should position the cursor just before the entity. When the code of the entity is shown (i.e. &alpha ;), the cursor should be just before the & character.
when the HTML entity is the last (character) on the line, clicking after the entity should position the cursor just after the entity. When the code of the entity is shown (i.e. & beta;) the cursor should be just after the ; character
when marking/selecting an HTML entity, it should be shown as selected - its background should become grey (in the default GitHub theme)
Screenshots / Screencasts
Clicked before the alpha character - the cursor stays after it:
Clicked after the beta character - the cursor stays before it (actually it disappears when taking a screenshot)
