The techniques we use in this code date back to
2013 and may be obsolete today (and may not have
been even the best workaround back then).

https://github.com/zulip/zulip/commit/fc0b7c00f16316a554349f0ad58c6517ebdd7ac4

The idea is that we build a temp div, let jQuery process the
selection, then restore the selection on a zero-second timer back
to the original selection.

Do not be afraid to change this code if you understand
how modern browsers deal with copy/paste.  Just test
your changes carefully.
