hi, the only way i find to do this, now is painful:

x.contentWindow.addEventListener("keydown",		function(){ thisEditor._selectionChangedEventDispatcher(); }, true);
x.contentWindow.addEventListener("keyup",			function(){ thisEditor._selectionChangedEventDispatcher(); }, true);
x.contentWindow.addEventListener("keypress",		function(){ thisEditor._selectionChangedEventDispatcher(); }, true);
x.contentWindow.addEventListener("mousedown",		function(){ thisEditor._selectionChangedEventDispatcher(); }, true);
// this can be enabled only on mousedown and disabled on mouseup
x.contentWindow.addEventListener("mousemove",		function(){ thisEditor._selectionChangedEventDispatcher(); }, true);
x.contentWindow.addEventListener("mouseup",		function(){ thisEditor._selectionChangedEventDispatcher(); }, true);
x.contentWindow.addEventListener("dragend",		function(){ thisEditor._selectionChangedEventDispatcher(); }, true);
x.contentWindow.addEventListener("drop",		function(){ thisEditor._selectionChangedEventDispatcher(); }, true);

we need an event "selectionchanged"

thank you
