Our support for setting selection ranges in textareas and text inputs is spotty right now. None of it works for textareas, and there are bugs in the text input support. Testcase coming...

Perhaps this sort of bug causes bad effects probably, like, if you can't get accurate information about the current selection, how can something that acts on a selection (search or find) work? If this is not an issue, maybe it is not EDITORBASE, but I'd like some knowledge if that is the case or not.
