 This patch is a continuation from #41962 / [41630].

 == What's new? ==
  * Shortcodes should no longer break when selecting them from text mode
 and switching to Visual mode.
  * No longer inserting empty paragraphs where the selection markers were,
 when going back and forth between Visual and Text modes.
  * Live Preview shortcodes should now be properly selected in Text mode,
 when they were selected in Visual mode.
 * Other general bug fixes and code improvements.

 == To test ==

 1. Apply patch
 2. Open the editor
 3. Add content, click around, select things
 4. Switch between modes
 5. Try adding embeds
 6. Try adding shortcodes

 Look for JS errors in the console, weird behavior, etc.

 == Feedback ==
