           Summary: [Gtk]  atk_text_get_selection returns the wrong

test case

Steps to reproduce:

1. Load the test case in Epiphany and launch Accerciser.
2. For each paragraph:
   a. Select the word 'test'
   b. Select the paragraph in Accerciser's object tree.
   c. With the pargraph selected, get the first selection by
      typing 'acc.queryText().getSelection(0)' in the iPython
      console.

Expected results: The startOffset and endOffset for the selection would be the same for each paragraph, because the word 'test' appears at the same character offsest in each paragraph.

Actual results: The startOffset and endOffset for the selection in each paragraph is different, with offset 0 appearing to be the first character after the link:

  In [1]: acc.queryText().getSelection(0)
  Out[1]: (10, 14)
  In [2]: acc.queryText().getSelection(0)
  Out[2]: (6, 10)
  In [3]: acc.queryText().getSelection(0)
  Out[3]: (3, 7)
  In [4]: acc.queryText().getSelection(0)
  Out[4]: (1, 5)

Impact: Orca incorrectly states that text is not selected when it is selected. In addition, it displays the wrong text as being selected on the braille display.
