you are hacking around ;)

doSelect _must not_ be called somewhere "in-between" changing the text: the api doc clearly states that the
caret/anchor coordinates are the _new_ coordinates, that is after all changes have been applied. When re-calculating
them on-the-fly might have unexpected side-effects, f.i. if a TextFormatter had something special in mind (no failing
test handy though).
