When an input method asks a WebHTMLView for the currently selected text, nothing is returned.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open WebCore/layout-tests/editing/inserting/typing-001.html
2. Type something with Kotoeri Hiragana, confirm the inline input area
3. Select one character
4. Press Control-1 or Control-2 (Search similar Kanji, Convert to related character)
Expected results: an inline input area is created from the selection
Actual results: nothing happens
Discussion: here is how the reply to kEventTextInputGetSelectedText looks like (note the emply
kEventParamTextInputReplyText 'trtx'):
(gdb) call (void)_DebugPrintEvent(0x5CD49D0)
Displaying event 5CD49D0...
