Title:
  hide selection handle when start typing

Bug description:
  we are showing the selection handle (in addition to the cursor)
  whenever entering a text field that already has text in it. For
  example, if you are replying to a Gmail message, you have an annoying
  blue selection handle blinking where you are trying to type and you
  can't turn it off. Or on a form, focusing on a field to append text
  will also show the selection handle. Or a multi line text area, adding
  a new line and typing at the beginning.

  Tested Chrome on Android and it behaves differently, and think we should do similar:
   1. Show the selection handle initially, but have it disappear when you press any key (space, character, etc.)
   2. Tapping anywhere in the field will cause handle to be shown again
   3. Also, can we put the selection handle on the bottom of the cursor instead of the top? This is the behavior on Chrome for Android and the rest of our non-html platform in Ubuntu touch.
