This change seems unrelated to the fake caret.


Nit:  The comment here says "also", but it happens before the event
EVENT_OBJECT_LOCATIONCHANGE.

This is definitely related to the fake caret, since the fake caret
moves anytime we get a selection changed event

+    ::NotifyWinEvent(EVENT_OBJECT_LOCATIONCHANGE, hwnd, OBJID_CARET, child_id);
+  }
+
   ::NotifyWinEvent(win_event_type, hwnd, OBJID_CLIENT, child_id);
