 MSIE 10 (and/or Windows 8) seems to treat finger selection and
 mouse/keyboard selections differently. A symptom of this can been seen in
 the attached screenshots, when selecting text in visual mode with one's
 fingers vs a keyboard or standard mouse.

 When selected via iOS style gestures, TinyMCE does not recognize the text
 as selected, and therefore does not let the user insert a link (note how
 the link tool is disabled). When selected via the mouse or kb, all is
 well. Everything also works fine with touch, mouse and kb when in text
 mode, pointing to an issue in TinyMCE.

 Screenshots were taken while running core trunk, r23108

 This might be affecting more versions of MSIE, or different contexts.
