Selecting a word when the cursor is already on it is impossible on mobile #849

I opened a review-only link on mobile (Firefox Focus) recently. Selecting text did not work: I could hold down until the popup menu, but this did not select the word under the cursor (and the only options are Paste and Select All, as expected).

There are two issues: first, hold-to-select does not always work; second, double-tap-to-select never works. I think (?) these are both symptoms of the same underlying issue: that it seems like you can never select a word when the cursor is already on it. (I am not 100% sure, but this seems reproducible.)
