Chromium has some issues where the Find in page is not always starting from the
right point after you close the Find session. 

This is described in this bug:
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=27910

Basically, a fix was put in for a nasty focus issue for Gmail where we set the
selection to 0,0. This is supposed to be done for content-editable fields only,
but was not restricted to content-editable fields. Now it is. We otherwise end
up setting the selection to 0,0 more often than needed, which can in certain
scenarios confuse the find algorithm into thinking the user messed with the
selection during runs.

On a related note, I also noticed that Find isn't setting the selection when we
end the Find session anymore (will follow this patch up with a browser test to
catch this in the future).
