After find discovers text inside a textarea, it doesn't release the selection when you click outside the textarea. This interferes with the copy/paste of content after you find on a page.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Here's the scenario.  You have a page with text in a textare, and text outside the textarea.  You do a Find -- and you find the text inside the text area.  That text is now highlighted.

Now, you select some text outside the textarea.  You copy (Cmd-C).

Switch to another application, and paste.  You end up with the found text from the textarea.  The textarea's highlighting didn't go away when you selected some other text outside the text area, and the copy picked up the textarea selection, not your selected text.
Actual Results:  
You end up pasting the wrong block of text.

Expected Results:  
You should paste and get the block of text you had selected.

This is reproable when Cmd-G is part of the mix, so duping to bug 334584.
