Our support for text selection and resizing seems to not be working very well. 
Using rtm build on krillin with webbrowser-app 0.23+14.10.20140910~rtm-0ubuntu1
oxide: 1.2.0-0ubuntu1

Testing using the following web sites:
cnn.com, mobile.nytimes.com, m.espn.go.com, ubuntu.com

1) very difficult, or impossible to get the selection rectangle to show up at all. Press and hold does not seem to be triggering it. Often I just get a single word highlighted.
2) times I do get the selection rectangle to show up, I can't resize it to anything smaller than the paragraph which it seems to select by default. I can't get it to select just a single line or multiple words within the lines.
