TypeError: this._win.getSelection(...) is null -- Firefox 30

[brian-mann]

I get this error only when I include key-sequence.

It happens in Firefox 30, but does not happen in Chrome.

I get this error using the bundled version of bililiteRange and also the latest version on his repo.

It originates from this line: https://github.com/j-ulrich/jquery-simulate-ext/blob/master/src/jquery.simulate.key-sequence.js#L115

This method appears to be the culprit: https://github.com/dwachss/bililiteRange/blob/master/bililiteRange.js#L515

Did you ever have a chance to take a look at this? I'm looking at integrating this into an open source testing framework, and thus far this is the only issue I've encountered.

Sorry, I didn't have time to look into this yet.
Did you check whether this happens in other versions of Firefox as well? I have seen bugs appearing in some browser version and disappearing in later versions once in a while.

Is there a solution?
