           Summary: [Gtk] get_n_selections and get_selection fail when
                    selecting text across object boundaries
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: Accessibility
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: joanmarie.diggs at gmail.com

Steps to reproduce:

1. In a paragraph with a link, start selecting several characters just before
the link and then continue the selection several characters into the link.

2. Using Accerciser's iPython console, try getNSelections() and getSelection(0)
for each of the above accessible text objects.

Expected results:

1. getNSelections would return 1 in both cases.

2. getSelection(0) would return the correct start and end offsets for the
selected text in each object.

Actual results:

1. getNSelections returns 1 for the first text object but 0 for the second
(i.e. the link).

2. getSelection(0) returns (start offset for object 1, end offset for object 2)
for the first object and (0, 0) for the second object.

Hopefully this will be the last of the selection bugs. :-) The good news is
that I discovered this one while testing Orca's new (but in my sandbox) ability
to present selected text in Epiphany.
