=== The cursor could be placed at the start of a list item instead of the clicked position
// #TINYMCE-14490

Previously, in Chromium-based browsers such as Chrome and Edge, clicking to the right of a line inside certain list items could place the cursor at the start of the item rather than at the clicked position. This edge case affected list items that contained a nested list, along with any list items created from them, making it difficult to position the cursor accurately. This behavior originates from a known link:https://issues.chromium.org/issues/40767343[Chromium browser issue].

rather than at the clicked position.

the problem is actually on a specific case when you click on the li (after the text ends for example) side of the text and the caret is expected to be positioned at the end of the li, clicking inside the content of the li works as expected
