Description Dimitri Glazkov 2012-01-04 16:50:00 UTC 
We need to understand very well how these work in shadow DOM subtrees.

This is not entirely satisfactory, since the spec currently states that content in shadow DOM subtree may never be retrieved using window.getSelection(). However, I don't know how to fix that at the moment.

Also, shadow DOM clearly calls for multiple-range selection, but there be dragons.

Bug 15444 filed to track fixing this.
