As hinted in #542 (comment),
SetSelectionRange()
should be closer to what browsers do; ignore such API calls when the input element is not focused. There is no reason for doing so.Chromium nowadays queues such events for a short period of time, perhaps to make the API call order less strict (i.e., you focus the element after setting the selection range). The exact reason is unknown to me.
