Hello, we struggle with an issue with document.getSelection() function when selected text is inside element with contenteditable=false attribute. Returned selection doesn't contain information about selected text. As a result, you cannot, for example, copy current selection using document.execCommand('copy') function. Steps to reproduce: 1. Visit https://codepen.io/jacekbogdanski/pen/wXMORq using iPad. 2. Use Safari developer tools with iPad. 3. Select some text from Lorem Ipsum example using iPad. 4. Click `Execute` link. Expected: Selection object should contain information about currently selected text. Actual: Selection object doesn't contain information about current selection. Other: It seems like this issue occurs only with contenteditable elements. It works fine with simple div element or contenteditable=true.
