Firefox Selection Issue of images when 2 tables are next to each other

[Kr0san89]

📝 Provide detailed reproduction steps (if any)

https://fiddle.tiny.cloud/1ApLmVlo72/1

1. Run the Fiddle
2. Click on the Image

✔️ Expected result

Image should be selected

❌ Actual result

Cursor is in the table after the one with the image

ways to improve this behavoiur altough most of the time it is still not selecting the image but the link or something else

• remove the content_style in the fiddle
• Add some text between the tables

❓ Things where it goes wrong

I think the issue comes from here

tinymce/modules/tinymce/src/core/main/ts/SelectionOverrides.ts

Line 123 in d247235

ClosestCaretCandidate.closestFakeCaretCandidate(rootNode, e.clientX, e.clientY).each((caretInfo) => {

where for some reason the function closestFakeCaretCandidate get's called (targetElm = image ) and comes out with the wrong table (cartInfo). But i'm bit unsure why it goes wrong

📃 Other details

• Browser: Firefox only (Chrome works as it has different selection Logic)
• OS: Linux but likely others
• First affected version: unclear but we used latest 6.8.1 + 6.8.3
• Worked in version: unclear
