Also, I should mention that if you're going to be trying to make tests for
things in the contentEditable part of VE, you'll likely run into Firefox
cursor bugs:

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56068

And if you try to move the cursor past a Reference/Transclusion/object,
you'll hit a WebDriver bug that you might be able to work around by firing
an 'onblur' event:

And even if you get through all that, your test will likely fail in the
Jenkins build because VE isn't playing nice with small windows this week:
