 Replying to [comment:7 azaozz]:
 > 37690.patch fixes it here. It brings back cloning of the textarea but
 uses an actual off-screen textarea element instead of a div, this is
 fasted and safer. To additionally speed it up that clone is used only when
 deleting more than one character.

 > Some more testing will be appreciated :)

 I can reproduce this behavior on Firefox 48.0 on Ubuntu 16.04.
 The patch fix the problem for me.

 Reproduced on git://develop.git.wordpress.org/ on `master`
 (4.7-alpha-38178-src) and `origin/4.6`.
 Patch tested on `origin/4.6`.
