In case of text area it might be shadow node. So we need to take the highest editable node as target. Please suggest and correct us if anything missing.

But then it appears that we have a bug in other code paths that fire selectstart event.  See EventHandler.cpp.  If anything, adding such code should be done in a separate patch.
