Mario, later I thought more about it. length == 0 may have a specific 
meaning and may possibly be used to clear the selection. I have no idea 
whether atk_text_set_caret_offset clears the selection too. However I 
can't imagine a situation when someone could be passing a negative value 
for length. So, maybe we better use -1 as the workaround. I'm pretty 
sure it would work well.

Things would be more clear and readable if we added new api. It's no 
problem for me, I already tried this approach. I can't compile other 
ports, but it should be feasible to provide correct code and let bots 
test it. If other ports have nothing against it, I'm ready to patch.

Please say which way to go and I'll prepare a patch. I'll join it with 
the previous patch (text-caret-moved) [1], which you wanted to be 
accompanied by a testcase. These 2 things together allow to port some 
test from testatk.c.
