Comment (by afercia):

 Quick and dirty patch just for debugging purposes :) Would love if someone
 could test this in IE 9, IE 10 and IE 11. I can test in other browsers
 including IE 8, feel free to do the same.
 How to test:
 - go in the admin Comment screen
 - open your IE dev tools console, go in the Script tab and watch the
 console output
 - click "Quick Edit" for a comment
 - once in the textarea, use just your keyboard to make a selection
 - reverse tab from the textarea to the buttons, note the console output
 - press a button, e.g. "code" or "bold", note the console output

 It's important to note which method is supported but especially which
 selected text is returned both when moving to the buttons and after you
 pressed a button.
 Hopefully, `selectionStart` and `selectionEnd` should always work in IE 9,
 10 and 11.
