In the presence of an audio element text selection does not work in most of the cases.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. select text with the mouse in c3.html by 
   - click-and-hold the left mouse button northeast of the first line
   - drag southeastward below the second line
   - release mouse button
2. single left click into white space below audio element
Actual Results:  
Text is "selected".

Expected Results:  
No text is selected or "selected".

"Selected" means: the text is marked as if it is selected but it is actually not. "Selected" text becomes "unselected" if the mouse clicks into a different application whereas a real selection turnes into grey instead.

"Selected" text is not available in the X selection/clipboard.
