Bug 105203 – [BlackBerry] Prevent selection handles from being rendered after selection was canceled

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebKit BlackBerry

[Yongxin Dai]

Here is the explanation why handles occur without selection overlay.
    1. Still touch at current selection (Selection A) initiated by touch-hold
    2. Selection expanding (Selection B) is ongoing
    3. Finger moves. In UI thread:
        1) SelectionHander::cancelSelection() gets called.
            a. Selection A is canceled immediately (clear selecting state and hide handles)
            b. Post a request to webkit thread to cancel Selection A.
    4. In webkit thread:
        1) Selection B becomes active selection
            a. Show selection overlay for Selection B
            b. Dispatch Selection B to UI thread to show handles
        2) Handle the request of canceling Selection A. The selection A was gone. Instead the active Selection B is canceled. The visual change is Selection overlay for Selection B becomes invisible..
    5. In UI thread:
        Selection B is rendered. The start handle and the end handle occur without selection overlay.
    
    The fix is to notify client with a empty selection whenever the selection is canceled in webkit thread.
