Text specified to be hidden in CSS using visibility:hidden does not appear on
the page, but if the entire page is selected (ctrl+a), or if the place where the
text is is drag-selected, the right-click menu shows that the actual text is
selected.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a CSS document including:

#hidden {
  visibility:hidden;
}
2. Include the CSS document into a new HTML file, with this in the <body>:
<div id="hidden">Text here</div>
3. Try to drag-select/ctrl+a, and then right click.

Actual Results:  
The menu has 'Search the web for "Text here"', and other selection-specific options.

Expected Results:  
The menu has the default right-click options.
