Description of the issue:
When navigating the text generated by a Brave AI summary, the cursor inappropriately makes strange, unexpected jumps, usually to the end of the AI-generated output.
Steps to reproduce:
Enable Caret-browsing.
Search for: “electoral vote totals for 2024”.
Position the text cursor on the first line of the generated summary: “2024 Electoral Vote Totals”
Press the down arrow.
Expected result: Text cursor moves to second line of the generated summary.
Actual result: Text cursor moves to the end of the generated summary.

Brave Version (check About Brave):
Brave Browser Version 1.73.104 or Firefox 133.0.3
