[oXygen-user] SurroundWithFragmentOperation duplicates selected string

[Oxygen XML Editor Support]

Hi Andreas,

When editing the TEI document in the Author visual editing mode there is 
a drop down on the toolbar which controls the tags display mode:

> http://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-oxygen/index.html#topics/author-display-markup.html

If you set that to "Partial Tags" (the default behavior) you will see 
that entity reference characters like ẽ are actually inline 
entity nodes which besides the character have two more special partial 
start and end tag characters.
Probably sometimes you select the word but the end selection does not go 
over the end tag character, for a more clear explanation please see the 
like the image I'm attaching to the email. In this case the text cannot 
be removed because the end of the selection is inside a read-only area 
(the entity content) and this leads to the text being left as it is and 
the fragment to be inserted before it.

I understand your use case and we'll modify the 
SurroundWithFragmentOperation to be more lenient in such cases, to 
consider that you actually wanted to surround the entire entity with the 
selection.

Regards,
Radu
