Thanks for your suggestion, Christopher.
I've managed to get word selection to work in text areas on the iPad,
Android tablets and Windows tablets.
But still there is a problem.
I can't get multiline text to display properly in Internet Explorer. Text
split by new line characters '\n' is displayed as one line in IE.
The qooxdoo mobile demo exhibits the same problem:

The terms of service on the Form demo are displayed as a one-line string.
