Description

A user often needs to create an annotation which covers a single character when he is correcting token annotations. In the case a punctation mark needs to be annotated, it is common to double click the punctation mark in order to select it.

This way of selecting a piece of text does not trigger a selection event which is needed to enable / disable the annotation actions.

To fix this issue: Add a new selection listener which can listen for text selections, instead of only listening to caret position changes.
