[iOS] When programatically calling select() in response to clicking in a TextEdit then the selection may not show up

[iOS] When programatically calling select() in response to clicking in a TextEdit then the selection may not show up. In the attached example click on the white area to have it select the 0->5 range inside the TextEdit. Then click inside the text so it deselects and then click in the white area again. Note that the cursor has moved to position 5, but there is no selection.

This only happens if the soft keyboard is visible, as it is related to the input method events which end up causing the selection to change twice.
