Tested on windows 8 using latest nightly  for iteration-11. 

STR:

1) press-hold on some text in content (not in an input) to select it
2) expand out the markers a bit
3) tap once on the selected text

result: selection is cleared but the monocles are left behind

Hmm, I can't reproduce, the selection always clears for me.

Tested on windows 8 using latest nightly for iteration-12. I am still seeing this issue which is shown in video, but not for every text selection.

We need to know how bad this problem is, and more reliable str before we block on it.

In trying to reproduce this, I have some really erratic text selection behaviour. There is definitely something odd happening here around text selection as a whole.

Sometimes the grippers appear (maybe when there is a tiny 'swipe' of the finger? or a longer tap?), often they don't appear (like two, spaced-apart taps). Sometimes tapping on another word will leave the grippers behind on the original word. 

So something is happening here that isn't right. I'm going to bubble up this bug, although I expect it will need to be broken out into other bugs as the issues surface.
