Hello,

we struggle with an issue with document.getSelection() function when selected text is inside element with contenteditable=false attribute. Returned selection doesn't contain information about selected text. As a result, you cannot, for example, copy current selection using document.execCommand('copy') function.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Visit https://codepen.io/jacekbogdanski/pen/wXMORq using iPad.
2. Use Safari developer tools with iPad.
3. Select some text from Lorem Ipsum example using iPad.
4. Click `Execute` link.

Expected:

Selection object should contain information about currently selected text.

Actual:

Selection object doesn't contain information about current selection.

Other:

It seems like this issue occurs only with contenteditable elements. It works fine with simple div element or contenteditable=true.
