extractSelectedText() behaviour differs between normal and minified JS

[Pistos]

With the minified JS, if you put the cursor in a <textarea>, and don't select anything, then issue $('textarea').extractSelectedText() in the browser console, it deletes the character before the cursor, as if you pressed backspace.

The -src.js file doesn't behave this way. The version of both files is allegedly 1.2.0.

I can't replicate this using the current source .js files in a slightly modified version of the demo page in Chrome or Firefox on my Mac. Which browser are you using?

Which browser are you using?

Chromium 43.0.2357.65 on Linux. I will try to come up with a minimal example. It's entirely possible that other code in our codebase was interfering.

You're right, in a minimal example, the problem does not manifest. It does appear in our code (I was able to reproduce it just now by swapping the minified and non-minified files), but I don't have time at the moment to try to more closely approximate the full situation (load all the other third-party libs, etc.). You are welcome to create an account here to try to reproduce the problem yourself. I couldn't quickly find how to replace a .js file loaded by a remote site, though. One possibility is with an HTTP proxy.
