[ahmed-hararaa]

If subtext is selected then i press backspace then order of events is the following

onSelection {start: 3, end: 8}

onSelection {start: 8, end: 8}

onChange

onSelection {start: 3, end: 3}

and if i press anything else the order is the following

onSelection {start: 3, end: 8}

onChange

onSelection {start: 4, end: 4}
