Yes, you are right, Util.waitForIdle() simply calls realSync(). It is 
interesting - without this sync (waifForIdle/realSync, does not matter 
which I use) this test always fails on my machine (i.e. it does not 
selects all lines of TextArea), with sync included it fails "only" in 
circa 1/10 of its run. At this time, I don't plan to push this patch as 
it isn't 100% correct.
