The specification says that modifying the range associated with the selection modifies the selection. But I can’t find anything that specifies what happens to direction when that occurs. I’m assuming it should always be reset to directionless if either endpoint of a range is modified, but I don’t see anything that defines that.

I suggest we also get a test added to Web Platform Tests that covers this.
