Tested in our application where the Find/Replace operations weren't working because the selection included an extra newline that made the search text actually not found in the complete document text.

> Because of the way the "getSelectedText()" method is implemented it will construct a separate document containing an enclosing paragraph and then put the selected range of stuff into that document.  But for simple text, that enclosing paragraph causes the PlainTextSerializer to output a line break.  Thus the selected text result will always end in a newline even if the selection does not encompass the end of the line.  This differs from the result of "getText(...)" using the selection bounds.
