When would there not be a valid RenderText instance if the delegate provided in
the ctor is valid? Consider making that a DCHECK instead?

[msw, 2016/10/18 23:15:05]

MoveCursorTo, SelectWordAt, and SelectAll all call OnAfterSelectionUpdated,
which already calls UpdateAfterChange(false, true), so this doesn't seem to be
needed; inlining these functions (or just calling the RenderText counterparts
within a single set of On[Before|After]* function calls right here) should make
the redundancy more obvious.

[karandeepb, 2016/10/20 04:12:57]

Done.

[msw, 2016/10/18 23:15:05]

PasteSelectionClipboard already calls UpdateAfterChange(true, true) and
ClearSelection calls OnAfterSelectionUpdated (which calls
UpdateAfterChange(false, true)), so this doesn't seem to be needed.

Should these On[Before|After]MouseAction calls only be made in the
delegate_->HasTextBeingDragged() conditional block that calls MoveCursorTo?
It's also a bit odd that MoveCursorTo is nesting calls to
On[Before|After]SelectionUpdated within this pair of
On[Before|After]MouseAction; I presume that's okay, but I'm obviously failing to
understand the nuances of these functions.

[msw, 2016/10/18 23:15:05]

Most of these helper functions are only called once, and simply wrap the
RenderText equivalent with calls to delegate->On[Before|After]SelectionUpdated.
I think it makes sense to inline the functions that are only have one caller.

[msw, 2016/10/18 23:15:05]

SelectTillEdge, MoveCursorTo, SelectWord, and SelectRange all already call
OnAfterSelectionUpdated, which calls
UpdateAfterChange(false, true), so this doesn't seem to be needed.

If we keep this around, it seems like we might want to determine if the
selection actually changed, instead of unconditionally sending true. It seems
possible that the selection didn't change if the last_drag_location_ hasn't
changed amid visible text, or if all text toward a last_drag_location_ beyond
the view bounds is already selected)

[karandeepb, 2016/10/20 04:12:57]

Done.
This is in line with what we have currently. Not all RenderText Select*
functions return a bool to indicate whether an actual change was made. I think
this can be handled subsequently.

[msw, 2016/10/21 02:14:15]

Acknowledged; you're right.
