Description

Steps to reproduce: In Firefox, Press SHIFT+LEFT to backwards-select a single ASCII letter. Press CTRL+C. Press SHIFT+RIGHT.

Expected behaviour: The selection should collapse.

Observed behaviour: The selection extends rightwards (because onCopy restored the forwards version of the range).
