Maybe I misunderstand, but if I click to the right of that first line, my cursor already immediately appears at the start of the second line, so that's not a TextRange issue, right?

Adding a doctype so the test page is rendered in standards mode instead of quirks mode fixes that for me.

And I can't reproduce what your myhandler function does, because clicking that button moves the focus away to the button so I can no longer see the cursor and can't get it back either. Finding the cursor position in a contentEditable area seems to be a different problem altogether.
