29.7.0
Steps to reproduce
When setting element.innerText, the returned value is correct, but the DOM is not updated accordingly — specifically, outerHTML and innerHTML do not reflect the change.
See CodeSandbox:

const link = document.getElementById("link");
link.innerText = "hello world";
console.log(link.innerText); // ✅ returns "hello world"
console.log(link.outerHTML); // ❌ still shows original text, not updated
Expected behavior
console.log(link.outerHTML); // -> "hello world"
Actual behavior
console.log(link.outerHTML); // ❌ still shows original text, not updated
