Attachment: A visual example of when the bug occurs.

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:58.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/58.0
Build ID: 20180118215408

Steps to reproduce:

Placed an emote at the very end of Facebook posts while creating/editing them. Then attempted to highlight all of the text with Ctrl+A, or Right-click < Select All.

If I place an extra space or character after the emote, I can highlight the text & emote normally. If I don't, the only way to highlight everything is to select it manually with my mouse. Works properly in Chrome & Cent Browser.


Actual results:

The text would become highlighted, then instantly become unhighlighted.


Expected results:

All text including the emote should have remained highlighted.
