Comment (by afercia):

 Seen some documentation and examples, to my understanding:

 - document.getSelection() (equivalent of window.getSelection() ) doesn't
 work in Firefox on a textarea

 - selectionStart and selectionEnd properties in IE work starting from IE 9

 I think we should reverse the logic in quicktags and check first for
 `selectionStart` and `selectionEnd` support, then for `document.selection`
 (IE 8-)
