Hello,
we struggle with an issue with document.getSelection() function when selected text is inside element with contenteditable=false attribute. Returned selection doesn't contain information about selected text. As a result, you cannot, for example, copy current selection using document.execCommand('copy') function.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Visit https://codepen.io/jacekbogdanski/pen/wXMORq using iPad.
2. Use Safari developer tools with iPad.
3. Select some text from Lorem Ipsum example using iPad.
4. Click `Execute` link.
Expected:
Selection object should contain information about currently selected text.
Actual:
Selection object doesn't contain information about current selection.
Other:
It seems like this issue occurs only with contenteditable elements. It works fine with simple div element or contenteditable=true.
