As discussed, this reflects problems with the selection being set after the underlying transactions, so we're leaving it like this for now. Will fix later.

I fixed this. The caret now knows how to draw when the selection points to offsets between child nodes of a parent node; it will draw at the start of the child node pointed to by the offset.
