Details

On the default browser page, do 'Page source' to open the view source window.
Try selecting text. Selection is very slow, and there is a lot of excess
flickering while redrawing the text selected.
Target Milestone: M6
There is some excess redrawing that the selection code is doing for
historical reasons (working around compositor bugs) that no longer needs to
happen. We have a simple fix.

it is now just slow from unacceptably slow so i am resolving this.  Selection
slowness if noticed from now on will be fixed by solving the GetPrimaryFrame
method by Troy Chevalier when he returns
