Aaargh. It seems that Opera 9.0 does not provide any way to set zero-length selections (i.e. put the cursor somewhere without selecting anything) backward of the current position. I suggest we just drop Opera 9.0 support, considering how buggy and little-used that browser is.

Given it's < 0.1% coverage, often I feel like we should be spending no more than < 0.1% of our time ensuring it works perfectly. I think we need to try and reach out to blacklisted browsers later on, when we have time, but it's important to realize that as time goes on, these browsers represent a smaller number of users.

Trevor blacklisted Opera < 9.6 in r57436.
