[Qt] Selecting text input text by pressing long is not working in Symbian devices

Steps:

1) Create a text input to a html page, which contains text, and use QtWebKit to show it
2) Start application, and press and hold the text input for a while, and release finger. 
-> The on-screen keyboard opens. Just before the on-screen keyboard opens, some text is shown to be selected in the HTML page [OK, or should nothing be selected?], although it is not selected in the on-screen keyboard [Not OK]. 
3) Enter any character
-> the text which is shown to be selected in the HTML page is replaced by the entered character. [Not OK]

Example application as attached.

Tested on:
N8, Qt 4.7.1
N8, Qt 4.6.3 (probably)

Demonstration: html page with text input on a QWebView

Please follow http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/QtWebKitBugs when reporing bugs here (missing Qt keyword).

This is actually expected. Currently, we do not enforce specific behavior for touch interaction. The partial selection you get is simply done because the touch events are forwarded as mouse event.

This behavior will change when we will enforce a specific behavior in response to touch events.
