Description Yichao Yu 2013-02-04 08:12:15 PST 
When using input method in webkit under X, the preedit text was incorrectly set as PRIMARY selection (which is supposed to be the text selected).
This bug affect all of chromium, webkitgtk (both gtk2 and gtk3), and QtWebkit (both qt4 and qt5) so I suppose the bug is in webkit.

NOTE: preedit is a temporary intermediate input result often shown as underline text and is totally different from selected text.
