[Stefano Verzegnassi <stefano92.100@xxxxxxxxx>]

Public bug reported:

In the documentation for UITK TextArea[1]:
    "Whether the TextArea should keep the selection visible when it loses active focus to another item in the scene. By default this is set to true;"

In the documentation for QML TextEdit component (inherited by UITK TextArea):
    "Whether the TextEdit should keep the selection visible when it loses active focus to another item in the scene. By default this is set to false."

The component from UITK[3] only set an alias to the TextEdit property,
without changing its default value. This leads to an unexpected
behaviour whenever the default property is set to a different value by
the upstream project.

In Qt 5.0.2 the property was set to true[4]. Since Qt 5.1.1, the value
has been changed[5].
