Yes, but I'm not starting selection in the middle of "aaa" or "bbb".
I start with a mouse down on the div element.
The behaviour is different based on the letter (of "sample text that should not get selected ") that I click. It is a bug.

I tried -webkit-user-select:none;
It doesn't work for me, see my initial comment:

// -webkit-user-select:none;    //WORKS BUT window.getSelection().addRange() also stops working

as for getSelection().setPosition(), could you please explain how I could use that to solve my problem?

I have a contentEditable div.
I want to take control over all text selection (keyboard and mouse), stop the UA and implement my own handlers.
I need to set the DOM selection myself.
I need mouse capture to start in mouse down, as I need to implement drag selection and auto scrolling.
