execCommand('inserthtml', false, '<b>b</b>') does work fine, after using the
command the inserted html is not selected.
This is not consistent with other execCommands.
It would be much handier if the inserted html would get selected.

I wil attach a testcase to show exactly what I mean.

Attachment: testcase midas inserthtml not selecting the inserted html

-Type some text in the midas iframe.
-Select some text in the midas iframe.
- Button "execCommand('bold', false, false)" makes the selection bold and
retains the selection
- Button "execCommand('inserthtml',false,'<b>b</b>')" deletes the old selected
text and inserts the new html, but doesn't select the inserted html

According to the testcase, Chrome selects all text in the <iframe> with the focus() call after execCommand. However, as far as I've tested, Chrome does not select inserted content and that matches with "insertText" command. So, we should not change our behavior from both compatibility and consistent points of view.
