           Summary: [Gtk] text-selection-changed events are not issued for

(This is a spin-off bug from bug #25526 comment #15)

Steps to reproduce:

1. Launch Epiphany and Accerciser.

2. Having enabled Accerciser's event monitor to examine
object:text-selection-changed events, use Shift+Right to select forward by
character.

Expected results: The source of the event would be the accessible object in
which text was just selected.

Actual results: The source of the event is the accessible object in which text
selection began -- which is not necessarily the object in which the most recent
text selection took place.

For instance, given:

    This <a href="foo.html">is</a> a test.

If I start selection somewhere in "This" and Shift+Right through to "test," I
see a text-selection-changed event for each press of Shift+Right, but all of
them are for the accessible which contains "This" rather than the link and
subsequent text.
