(This is a spin-off bug from bug #25526 comment #15) Steps to reproduce: 1. Launch Epiphany and Accerciser. 2. Having enabled Accerciser's event monitor to examine object:text-selection-changed events, use Shift+Right to select forward by character. Expected results: The source of the event would be the accessible object in which text was just selected. Actual results: The source of the event is the accessible object in which text selection began -- which is not necessarily the object in which the most recent text selection took place. For instance, given: This <a href="foo.html">is</a> a test. If I start selection somewhere in "This" and Shift+Right through to "test," I see a text-selection-changed event for each press of Shift+Right, but all of them are for the accessible which contains "This" rather than the link and subsequent text.
