[FIX] ContentEditableHelper: do not throw on missing node

Currently,the method `findSizeBeforeElement` will throw if called when
the selection is not targetting a node inside the ContentEditableHelper
instance.

Unfortunately, this can happen since commit d466315. If a menu is
opened and we decide to click on the composer, the click event if first
caught by the menu global listener which will close the menu and invoke
a callback that focuses the grid; this focus will alter the selection of
`document`. The event is then handled by the composer component but at
that point, the selection is not targetting it anymore.

With this revision, we change the behavior of `findSizeBeforeElement` to
return a default value of 0 in those situations as we simply don't know
how to determine the selection outside of the scope of the
ContentEditableHelper.

There is a functional drawback to this solution:
When clicking on a specific character of the composer when a menu is
opened, the selection will be set to `{ start: 0, end: 0 }`.

closes #2495
