https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=348681 was supposed to prevent overlapping selection ranges, but it is probably incomplete as using the Command key while selection, it's still possible to create overlapping selection ranges.
Doing so confuses our selection serialization code, and the resulting serialized text will be a bit messed-up (in this case I would agree with someone saying it's the user's fault!).
* We should probably try to create a testcase of this, and report the underlying bug to Mozilla.
* If we want, we can workaround this by adding JS code at the beginning of the selection serialization process to detect overlapping ranges and merge them. As long as the number of ranges stay limited, this overhead should not affect visibly the performances.
It's not sure this bug is worth working around it.
