Keep hitting an exception in rendering engine (I think)

[jwren]

I hit it first after making minor changes to the flutter code lab, and am hitting it now, while trying to put together a simpler flutter app.

Hot reload is not working, cold launches sometimes work.

Flutter run from IJ.

Can you add the output of flutter doctor to the bug?

The second stack trace is a duplicate of #10681

The first one is a problem in the new version of the Android text input plugin. I think we need to call Selection.removeSelection() instead of setSelection(-1)
